Maria Schiffer travelled to 10 African countries within one year for her book "Eating with Africa". In the process, she got to know many special people and their personal recipes.

In her book, the author presents typical recipes from the everyday kitchens of the local people. But “Eating with Africa” is much more than an ordinary cookbook. It is a collection of true stories about the people Maria Schiffer met on her journey. One gets an authentic insight into the lives of many African families and learns interesting facts about the countries and their culture. In addition, the photographer knows how to combine her pictures with the culinary in an optimal way.

The book is very well structured and easily to understand. Thanks to the author's entertaining way of writing, "Eating with Africa" reads like a novel. The easy-going writing style also contributes to the fact that you can't stop reading.

Very clearly presented, so that readers can easily follow the content. Especially the impressive photos are always an absolute highlight.

In one word: Yes

“Eating with Africa” is much more than just a cookbook, it is a mental journey to Africa. Maria Schiffer has succeeded in conveying to us the colourful diversity and the attitude towards life of Africa with her impressive pictures, recipes and the stories of the people.

Highly recommended! For Africa fans as well as for non-Africa connoisseurs, it is a great insight into the fascinating (food) culture of the countries Maria Schiffer has travelled to. With this book, the author has succeeded in creating a unique view of the African continent.
