Africa has an immensely rich culinary history & a huge variety of foodstuffs is consumed there, reflecting the myriad influences that have shaped what people eat & how they prepare & consume food & drink. Outsiders are often surprised to learn this, given the association of the continent with famine, drought & other hardships. ” Stirring the Pot” describes how the ingredients, methods & varieties of African cuisine comprise a repository of tried & tested household & farming knowledge, mostly preserved by women. It also reveals how recipes, tastes & culinary practices are integral to understanding the continent`s history. For example, three indigenous grain crops-millet, sorghum, & teff-made the transition from wild grasses to domesticated grains at the hands of Africans. The author also traces how African food is the sum of many parts, be they the foodstuffs of the New World
- maize, peanuts, tomatoes & potatoes
- or those of the Indian Ocean
- spices & Asian rice. Nor does he neglect to describe how Creole, African-American & Caribbean cuisines have themselves been indelibly altered by the African encounter. James Mc Cann is an enthusiastic advocate of African cooking, a passion conveyed by the many recipes contained in his book, such as the best way to cook jollof rice, prepare an injera pancake or thicken Nigerian yam pottage with boiled crayfish shells. He also recounts his own culinary encounters across the continent, from memorable meals, to unearthing the complex dining practices of the Ethiopian royal court or describing the hybrid, fish-based cooking of port cities such as Mombasa, Luanda & Durban.
