A Culinary Journey through Tanzania
by Vera Lifa Seiverth
Tanzania is a country of longing because of its breathtaking landscape. The charming national parks and game reserves attract numerous tourists every year. Mountain climbers can dare the adventure of a Kilimanjaro ascent, the rich flora and fauna can be explored in the classic way on a safari or experience the fantastic underwater world while diving off Zanzibar. In addition to the attractive tourist offer, the East African country also seduces every curious traveler with its varied cuisine. You should definitely try these, because in them you can taste the influences of all the nations and cultures - Indian, Arabic and European - that are at home here. Guests are always welcome, because the tables are always richly set. Fresh salads complement fish and meat dishes, colorful curries, chutneys or delicious soups are as much a part of the menu as ugali (Tanzanian polenta), pilau (spiced rice), visheti (sweetened dough balls) or Tanzanian donuts. This book whets our appetite for a trip to Tanzania and its cuisine because of its vivid descriptions and wonderful pictures of the fascinating scenic Sights and around 100 typical recipes.Good appetite or mlo mwema, karibuni sana!
