    A great resource for anyone interested in Healthy West African Foods.
    This book is a great summary of simple changes that turns traditional West African dishes into healthier meals. It is easy to read, comprehensive and well-written and is a useful resource for anyone wanting to learn more about living a healthy West African lifestyle. It doesn’t try to steer away from West African culture and foods, however suggests ways to adapt current practices for healthier living for everyone. The activities at the end of each chapter are a great way to start to make small but significant changes to your lifestyle and is a book for all the family to use.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and am happy with the facts which truly show both the scientific and nutritional benefits of the foods people of West African origin know very well on the surface but not in-depth.
    This is a first of its kind and very cleverly but simply laid out for the lay person to grasp and enjoy a natural and healthy lifestyle on a budget. Truly this is a must read and keep for reference in every home.

  8. UNP

    First of its kind, detailed and very informative. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and often make reference to it for nutritious West African diet/recipes. A fantastic resource for anyone looking to make lifestyle changes particularly West Africans who love their native dishes. It was an eye opener for me in particular as it debunked the myth that West African food was generally unhealthy. A great resource for the family.
