A Flavour Of Kenya

From a young age the author was a constant presence in the family kitchen, watching and helping the cook. But neither the female cook nor his father thought it natural that a young boy should take an interest in this "woman's work". But his passion continued and became his profession. He has worked at well known establishments in Kenya, France, and the Netherlands. His first cookery collection is aimed at people with an appreciation of fine food and wanting to produce it in their own homes. Thoroughly accessible, and mindful of tight budgets, the recipes use local and international ingredients and cover many well known meat, fish and vegetable dishes.

This title looks at life in Kenya through simple information and the letters of a young child to her pen-friend. It describes the child's home life, a typical school day, leisure time pursuits, home life, religious worship, a festival and the working life of the child's parents.

TASTE! is a refreshed and expanded new edition of Glynn’s REAL FLAVOURS – the handbook of gourmet & deli ingredients, voted World’s Best Food Guide and described by Nigel Slater as "one of the only ten books you need." The book features unique new NEED TO KNOW panels for each category, fast-to-use lists telling you what’s important, whether buying, cooking or eating. Each is a guide to how to spot the good, the bad or ugly, and the ideal ways to enjoy the world’s best deli ingredients. TASTE! is an all-embracing, comprehensive handbook of specialty food information, from salt, pepper, sugar and salt to Portuguese Egg Tarts, sourdough, olive oil, caviar, wondrous British charcuterie, cheese and cheesecakes. Included are chapters on Beans, Peas and Pulses, Bread and Baking, Charcuterie, Chocolate, Chutneys, Ferments and Pickles, Coffee, Dairy including Cheese, Fish, Fish Eggs and Seafood, Fruit, Vegetables, Nuts, Dried Mushrooms and Sea Vegetables, Grains including Pasta, Herbs, Spices and Natural Flavorings, Oils, Olives, Sauces, Sugars, Syrups and Honey, Tea and Herbal Teas, and Vinegars. You’ll end up reading TASTE! like a challenging novel, because it also presents controversial opinions about chillies, synthetic flavorings, palm oils and more. Glynn says: "the book answers the questions you didn’t know you should have asked, and is an ingredient handbook that makes every cookbook work."
