Perhaps theres no betteror more funway to learn about a place than to read about its cuisine while tasting it as well! West Africa is home to 20 countries and borders on both the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic Ocean. In modern times, Africans use the ingredients available to them for one-pot meals, while in earlier times cuisine was bound to the tragic history of slavery. Many of the traditional foods of the American South come from West Africa, such as okra and black-eyed peas. After readers take a tour of West Africa in the pages of this book, they can make a traditional West African sweet treat.
