Marcus Samuelsson is one of America's great chefs and is well known for his Scandinavian cuisine at his award-winning restaurant Aquavit in New York City. Chef Samuelsson's new cookbook, The Soul of a New Cuisine takes an exciting twist and introduces the world to African Fusion.
Marcus Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia. Marcus returns to Africa and shares a diverse collection of over 200 recipes that explore the various cuisines of the continent. Wonderfully exotic, most of recipes call for common ingredients that are available at your local supermarket. Some recipes include Carmelized Mango Soup, Moroccan-style Duck Breasts, Ginger-Banana Salad with Honey Ice Cream, Spiced Bass with Crunchy Rice and Watercress Salad, Barbecued Roast Beef with Plum Sauce, and much more.
Jam packed with photographs, The Soul of a New Cuisine is a brilliant work and is sure to further the popularity of African Fusion cuisine. To quote Chef Samuelsson, Africa is "a state of mind that I hope this book will help you tap into wherever you are."
