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!
