Excerpt From This Debut Book
By remembering, I hope to show that what is similar across cultures stands out just as much as their uniqueness.
Due to political circumstances that culminated in a coup d’etat, we left Africa and our life briefly segued back to France before a decision was made to pursue opportunities in the Anglo- Saxon world. Our sights turned to England. By the time I arrived in England, family in tow, my cooking had evolved with American, French, and West and North African flavors. Those learned cooking styles somehow comfortably began to find each other and to blossom. My kitchen practices came to reflect what I took as the best of my accumulated experiences, my keys to success in the kitchen.
