My Modern African Kitchen

Drawing inspiration from, Soweto, Mama D and her gran's cooking, Chef Nti realised that in order to talk to a new generation she had to reinvent these flavours in a fresh, innovative way. Chef Nti - My Modern African Kitchen embraces this concept, celebrating food that is proudly South African.

The cookbook recipes are generally quite nutrient dense and contain a lot of fiber and antioxidants. Although African cooking is all about throwing all the ingredients together and tasting as you cook, this cookbook gives beginners and advanced cooks a choice to add and subtract ingredients and still have healthy and delicious meals. The cooking methods employed in this cookbook add minimal fats and try to retain the natural flavor of the foods, and meals are often steamed, boiled, roasted, or baked. Some are fried. This cookbook contains traditional, healthy recipes based on whole food and unprocessed ingredients, and they are full of a variety of nutrients. These traditional African recipes have been passed on from one generation to another. This cookbook has a collection of recipes across Africa. Since each recipe is presented in easy-to-follow steps, the book also has a broad audience and appeals to beginner-level cooks and also advanced cooks because of the unique global content.

A collection of traditional and modern African recipes; easy to prepare meals featuring the ingredients, flavors, textures and aromas of African cooking.

Many recipes found in this culinary collection come from the English-speaking parts of Cameroon. Some dishes might be familiar; some might not. One way or the other, I do hope you will find some new dishes or a new flavor that is appealing, one that will make all your kitchen efforts worthwhile. Now with the introduction of Ceci’s African Kitchen cookbook, adventurous food connoisseurs can prepare these new dishes in their own kitchens. It is my hope that my food blog, Ceci’s African Kitchen (www.cecisafricankitchen.com), and this publication, a dream come true, will help spread the word about the good tastes of African cuisine as well as many other ethnic food favorites from around the world.
