product descriptionVegan Africa by Marie Kacouchia combines recipes from across Africa with a French sensibility. The author is from Cote d'Ivoire and lives in Paris. She believes that a vegan diet can make one a more creative cook. She also aims to combat the notion that African food is meat-centric by offering us this exceptional selection of vegetable-focused recipes. She has chosen simple ingredients, like sweet potatoes, plantains, avocados, peppers, peanuts, corn, carrots, chickpeas, mangoes, and tomatoes. Kacouchia points out that these ingredients are often humble, but she delights in making them sublime and showing us how we can do it too.
