Bissara Ready Time: 1 Hr 20 Min "This is one of my treasured recipes, it is wonderful on cold days. This recipe originates from somewhere in North Africa."

Chutney Chicken Ready Time: "A South African chutney recipe. Serve with rice and a green salad if desired. Divine!"

Cold Roasted Moroccan Spiced Salmon Ready Time: 1 Hr 12 Min "This easy dry rub blasts the fish with unique Middle Eastern flare and is perfect paired with other cold sides and salads. Roast it in the morning to enjoy cold with your guests that evening. Any variety of salmon, or even trout, works; cooking time remains the same as long as the cut is about one-inch thick. It may seem like a lot of seasonings to use on one cut of meat, but cold meat can lose flavor, so the idea is to blast it with flavors from the beginning. If cold fish isn't your thing, refrigerate it and bring it to room temperature to serve."

Eba Ready Time: 15 Min "A classic African dish which can be served as an accompaniment to dishes such as Egusi Soup. Traditionally this dish is eaten communally using the hands. A small amount is rolled in the hand, then dipped into the soup before being eaten."

Egusi Soup Ready Time: 1 Hr 35 Min "This soup is native to West Africa (Nigeria) and many of my American as well as Nigerian friends have enjoyed it. It is a great soup for those who like to try something different every once in a while. Ground Egusi seeds give this soup a unique color and flavor. If you can't find Egusi seeds, you can substitute pumpkin seeds. Any combination of crab, shrimp and smoked fish can be used in place of the shrimp. Drained, smoked oysters and chicken can be used in place of the beef."

Ethiopian Chicken Ready Time: 1 Hr "This is a fragrant and spicy chicken dish that can be served as either a main meal or an appetizer."

Ethiopian Spiced Cottage Cheese with Greens (Gomen Kitfo) Ready Time: 35 Min "This is an Ethiopian recipe that is slightly altered to better accommodate ingredients commonly available in the US. Use spinach if you prefer; and if you can't find cardamom, just leave it out. I first made this for a school project in junior high."

Gages Ready Time: 4 Hrs 20 Min "This is an excellent vegetable dish from Sierra Leone. A tantalizing marinated eggplant and tomato salad tossed with coconut and peanuts just before serving for an exotic crunch."

Ground Nut Stew Ready Time: 45 Min "This is a wonderful, spicy chicken stew served over rice. I make it often for my husband and friends. It can easily be doubled to feed a crowd. It is an amazing African dish. I learned it from a good friend who was a missionary kid in Sierra Leone and Zaire. It can easily be modified for vegans by substituting vegetable broth and adding vegetables instead of chicken. Any fresh or frozen veggies that you have on hand can be added."

Guyanese Coconut Buns Ready Time: "My best friend gave me this recipe she was given while in British Guyana. You can substitute butter with margarine if the thought of a half pound of butter terrifies you :-) These are really delicious!"
