Get an inside in the spicy Somali cuisine with these mostly simple authentic recipes. For most people the Somali cuisine is relatively unknown. This book allows you to look inside the diets of many everyday Somali people. People you might know but never asked about what's on their sandwich or what they had for breakfast that day. This book feeds your cultural culinary curiosity, the CCC as I like to call it. Somali food is mostly simple with elongated recipes here and there but most dishes are easy and quick to make. This type of food contains strange flavour combinations, colourful spices and has surprising health benefits. The combinations of sweet, tart, sour and spice together with regular consumption of entrails such as kidneys, liver and even an animals heart makes this cuisine authentic. The flavours are odd yet interesting but aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Who knew kidneys, liver and the heart of a camel could be so tasty and have so many health benefits? Not to underestimate the astonishing nutritional values and benefits in the spices added to these dishes. The spices go in everything in the Somali food, even in the tea and coffee and Ow may do they release fascinating aroma's, tickling and putting your senses at ease while at the same time increasing your focus and concentration mode.
