Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ethiopian chicken stew (Doro wot)

      I used peanut oil in place of the butter and canola, and chicken breasts. Came out wonderfully.

  • Zimbabwean peanut stew (Dovi)

      This was a great stew. I had jalapeño chiles in this house so used those and they were very hot so I used about ½ the amount of fresh chile. I also doubled the carrots. It was a fantastic dish. Highly recommended will make again. The peri peri and the cayenne I thought would be too much but they were perfect.

In Flavors of Africa, Evi Aki shares the traditional Nigerian dishes she grew up enjoying, as well as typical eats from all across the continent. She introduces customary recipes from each of Africa’s different regions, including meals from Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Egypt, Angola and more, all of which she collected with the help of relatives and family friends.

Sample tried-and-true staples that have survived generations, like Nigerian Red Stew, Jollof Rice, Moroccan Spiced Lamb and Eritrean Red Lentils with Berbere Spice Mix. Enjoy Evi’s unique spin on classics like West African Egusi Soup and Ewa Oloyin (a vegetarian bean dish), in addition to her lighter and healthier take on traditional African street foods like Zanzibar Pizza.

Whether you’re a foodie, a spicy food aficionado or simply looking for a colorful new cuisine to try, Flavors of Africa is an excellent map for your culinary journey.
