Cookery Book: The Tanzanian way

Abstract

Karibu

I would first of all like to thank all those who wrote to Anna with the recipes and quickly remind all those with good intentions to send more as the recipes can be added at a later date.

So, thanks go to VSOs in Bukoba, Babati, Moshi, Morogoro, Dar, Marangu….

This book's objective is to make life (and what is life without food!) a little more interesting in the kitchen and on the table. Of course, there are many variations and a lot of the time it is enjoyable to just experiment with what you have in the cupboard. I would like to remind you that there are many easy recipes in the Baby Belling Cook Book and, don't forget, the Pressure Cooker Cook Book. Also, it is always handy to know other people with cook books to borrow!

The recipes on the whole have been tried and tested and given the OK before getting in the book. The recipes which are scrummy and impressive I have coded as BHC -British High Commission. I thought it would be useful to know which ones may help you to influence and enable you to ask for funds!

What I would like to suggest is that whenever you are in the big cities, hunt out the herbs and spices shops and also the wazungu shops. Here you can top up on the essentials for interesting cooking. You can also ask visitors to bring in those difficult to get hold of herbs and spices and, of course, there is always the post!
