Praise for Marcus Samuelsson's James Beard Award–Winning Discovery of a Continent: Foods, Flavors, and Inspiration from Africa "[Samuelsson's] recipes are seductive amalgams, designed to lure American cooks into adding less-familiar African flavors. . . . Sumptuous photographs by Gediyon Kifle . . . will inspire you to follow Samuelsson on his travels." —New York Times Book Review "A deeply personal mix of recipes and culture from chef/restaurant owner and native African whom Gourmet named 'one of the most innovative chefs in the world.'" —USA Today "Original, intelligent, and well executed. . . . A personal culinary odyssey. . . . The result is a compelling blend of traditional recipes and a kind of personal fusion food." —Los Angeles Times "Cookbook of the year. . . . Sparkles with color, intriguing recipes, and informative tidbits inspired by the research Samuelsson conducted." —Chicago Tribune "A loving, enticing tribute to a continent that [Samuelsson] believes represents, foodwise, the next big thing. . . . Captures the traditional recipes of countries from Morocco to South Africa, and also includes Samuelsson's spin on the flavors he encountered." —O, The Oprah Magazine "American cooks have explored many parts of the world in their kitchens, but one continent is almost entirely missing from our repertoires—Africa. . . . Marcus Samuelsson may change that single-handedly." —San Francisco Chronicle
