This isn't just a cookbook, it's also a history lesson on food. I just wish there were more pictures of Kwame's dishes.

I loved the thought and heart this receive book holds. Kwame tells a story of the diaspora with passion and resiliency. I loved many of the recipes found and was so excited by the instructions on how to keep leftovers. I would have loved to have seen more pictures to see some of the Nigerian and Ethiopian recipes. Seriously delicious and thoughtful!

pretty interesting recipes here. in particular there's a series of rice recipes that sound wonderful. also intrigued by coco bread which i am definitely going to try. the thing that bugs, is his use, and naming, of various spice mixes. I get that the use of the spice mixes creates a theme to his recipes and i appreciate that but i kind of hate the way he refers to them by initials. for example 'RGP' which is roasted garlic puree. ok does seem like I should be able to keep that in my head but there's also 'GGP' and 'NKO" as well as 'Green Seasoning,' 'Berbere,' 'Peppa Sauce,' 'Spice Pickling liquid,' all in one recipe. making sense of that involves an awful lot of flipping back and forth in the book. anyhow, many of the recipes do sound delicious.

Great variety of recipes to try. Loved the pantry section which included the recipes for the spice mixtures and sauces used throughout.
