A Kitchen Safari: New Edition
A Kitchen Safari by Yvonne Short is a gorgeous book on the Stories and Recipes from the African Wilderness. When &Beyond; began safari camps two decades ago they were new to the experience and wonder of the native cuisine and excellent produce, grown without the enhancers that make produce in other parts of the modern world lose some of its natural flavor and goodness. Now the company has many safari ecolodges all over Africa in specially chosen wilderness places, which serve cuisine prepared from local produce, helping the surrounding natives have a steady income. The book is absolutely gorgeous with photos of the table settings at the outdoor safari dining places with locally prepared dishes of most unusual blend of ingredients, colors, flavors, aromas. This is a wonderful safari for the senses for anyone who can never go to Africa or a wonderful memoir for those fortunate enough to make the trip. The photos of the native animals and scenery are on many of the pages. You'll travel with the authors from West to East Africa, and from North to South Africa, learning a lot about each place and its culture as you enjoy the book. BEAUTIFUL!
