Africana is a celebration of modern African cookery, a love letter to a rich heritage and an enduring people. With whispered recipes from ancestors and generations past, memories of Mama’s sumptuous cooking, soup-stained scribbles and inventive recipes for delightful home cooking, this book is Lerato’s invitation to you to look to Africa for cultural and culinary enrichment, for an adventure filled with wanderlust and excitement. Bringing people together to share the joy of honest food with family and friends.
In conversation with Felicity Cloake for this virtual event, Lerato will delve into the stories of adventure that have inspired the dishes, from Spice Island Coconut Fish Curry, Senegalese Yassa, South African Malva Pudding to the secret of the perfect Jollof. This is the story of Africana, bringing the magic and beauty of vibrant African cooking into your home, wherever that may be, and transporting you to paradise.
