Book Description
From a young age the author was a constant presence in the family kitchen, watching and helping the cook. But neither the female cook nor his father thought it natural that a young boy should take an interest in this "woman's work". But his passion continued and became his profession. He has worked at well known establishments in Kenya, France, and the Netherlands. His first cookery collection is aimed at people with an appreciation of fine food and wanting to produce it in their own homes. Thoroughly accessible, and mindful of tight budgets, the recipes use local and international ingredients and cover many well known meat, fish and vegetable dishes.

Book Description
Complete absence or existence of limited quantified recipes has negatively impacted on optimal gains from dietary activities being promoted by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MoALF) towards alleviating food and nutrition insecurity, and ultimately malnutrition. The lack of reliable quantified recipes in the country may have therefore led to incorrect nutrient intake estimations resulting in erroneous nutrient adequacy estimations in populations and eventually, inaccurate programming decisions. It is on this premise that Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) supported the government in documenting commonly consumed recipes, which were quantified with ingredients, preparation methods and yield factors. This book is a detailed account of commonly consumed dishes featuring a diversity of mixed ingredient recipes from across Kenyan communities. These recipes were selected based on frequency of use and so the most commonly used recipes are featured. The book was developed side by side with the revised Kenya Food Composition Tables (KFCT) and so nutrient calculations for mixed recipes featured were drawn from the revised Kenya Food Composition Tables (KFCT), 2018. This first version of recipes book covers a total of 142 mixed recipes. The main components of the book include for each recipe a list of ingredients with household measures, the preparation and cooking method, cooking time, nutrient profile per 100g of recipe, servings and a photograph of the final dish. In addition, individual recipes have been grouped into broader categories for ease of reference. Recipes that are common among urban dwellers have also been captured. Recipes that apply to infants particularly have been indicated in the recipe introductions. Of note about infant recipes is that the information received during focus group discussions revealed that most of the recipes consumed by the entire family are also eaten by infants above 6 months and children. A full nutrient profile, nutrient calculations, yield factors and retention values are provided per recipe. Of note, the recipes in this book were developed to serve a minimum of four people. There is still room for continued review and inclusion of more recipes that will provide a wide representation of the Kenyan Cuisine, give correct information on the population diet, holistically tackle malnutrition, inform current programming and influence policies, and consequently address chronic and acute malnutrition in the country in a more sustainable way.

A native New Yorker, her mother worked as a chef in her own catering business, run out of their home in Harlem. Driven by the speed and the intensity in the kitchen, Kelis' passion behind watching her mother cook inspired her to roll up her sleeves.

She discovered local outdoor markets and tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurants and considered them the hidden treasures of her journeys. After 10 years in the music business, Kelis decided to attend Le Cordon Bleu. Attending the famous cooking school gave Kelis the confidence to call herself a chef and to write her first cookbook.

Book Description
Ethnic American Food Today introduces readers to the myriad ethnic food cultures in the U.S. today. Entries are organized alphabetically by nation and present the background and history of each food culture along with explorations of the place of that food in mainstream American society today. Many of the entries draw upon ethnographic research and personal experience, giving insights into the meanings of various ethnic food traditions as well as into what, how, and why people of different ethnicities are actually eating today. The entries look at foodways—the network of activities surrounding food itself—as well as the beliefs and aesthetics surrounding that food, and the changes that have occurred over time and place. They also address stereotypes of that food culture and the culture’s influence on American eating habits and menus, describing foodways practices in both private and public contexts, such as restaurants, groceries, social organizations, and the contemporary world of culinary arts. Recipes of representative or iconic dishes are included. This timely two-volume encyclopedia addresses the complexity—and richness—of both ethnicity and food in America today.
