Food From Across Africa: Recipes to Share

Discover the diverse, delicious flavors of Africa with modern and traditional recipes from the chefs of the sold-out London supper club The Groundnut.

Experience the food of Africa with three energetic and imaginative chefs, Duval Timothy, Jacob Fodio Todd, and Folayemi Brown, all native Londoners with family origins in different parts of the African continent, on a mission to showcase the food of their childhoods. Featuring both recipes that have been passed down through generations and experimental dishes using new ingredients and combinations, the Groundnut chefs have brought a fresh perspective and passion to traditional East and West African cuisines unlike any other, presenting food that is simple, balanced, beautiful, and fabulous to share.

Learn to make jollof rice, the fragrant and ubiquitous West African dish, or innovative offerings like aromatic star anise and coconut chicken served in a steaming plantain leaf. Here are nine complete menus reflecting the pop-up style of the Groundnut dinner series, including cocktails and juices, main courses, vegetables, sides, and desserts, which are meant to be eaten communally, with family, friends, and neighbors, and enjoyed with all the senses. Enhanced by colorful photographs, fascinating histories, and easy, healthy preparations, Food from Across Africa will leave you asking why it’s taken you this long to explore the delights of African cooking.
