This small cookbook is a collection of southern Africa recipes that are favorites of Detective Kubu - the gourmet detective in Botswana who features in the mysteries by Michael Stanley. The book covers special drinks from southern Africa and a number of recipes for appetizers. There is a collection of main courses that are popular in the region - and favorites of Kubu - but may be unusual and exotic for western cooks. Finally several interesting desserts that make Kubu's mouth water. A Taste of Africa also has some fun information about Kubu's eating and drinking habits and ideas about diet, and great sketches of Kubu at 'work'! The recipes in the KUkBUk have been tried and tested on friends from different countries and pronounced delicious. We enjoy them regularly. Try them out for something a bit different and interesting. Have fun cooking and bon appetit!

Justice Kamanga takes the reader on a gastronomic safari, expoloring the taste and textures of indigenous African cuisine, as well as dishes that have been influenced or introduced by foreign settlers to the continent from Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Simple in the choice of ingredients and easy to prepare, both traditional and fusion African cooking are nevertheless as intriguing in the subtle blends of flavours, colours and tantalising aromas as the lands from which they come, where they have formed delicious and different staples for hundreds – and in some cases thousands – of years. In order for the home cook to organize his or her own African-themed lunch or dinner, the recipes in Tastes of Africa have been traditionally grouped, including starters, fish, meat, vegetarian, side dishes, desserts and breads, and are accompanied by authentically styled, full-colour photography.
