Yesterday I received my copy of the just-published
Sub-Saharan Africa volume of
The Greenwood Encyclopedia of World Popular Culture, edited by Dennis Hickey, with Gary Hoppenstand the general editor of the series. I wrote the 30-page chapter on Food and Foodways, and am proud of a couple of things in it: a table (pp. 102-3) detailing well over 2 dozen carbohydrate/starch dishes by name, region, country, preparation techniques and ingredients--sadza, fufu, gari, injera, atapa, ugali, etc.--and the inclusion of some classic recipes, like
mbanga soup and
sukuma wiki. I am pleased they included two of my photos in the book (to the left). Unfortunately, the book is not sold individually, but if you are lucky enough to be near a school or library that buys the 6-book series (about $700 altogether), check it out! North Africa is covered in the volume North Africa and the Middle East.

I lived in Nigeria for about ten months and grew to love a lot of their foods!
One of my husbands co-workers just brought a wife back from Nigeria and they've already had us over for a traditional meal - delicious, although a bit spicy!
I have enjoyed your blog!
