In Bibi’s Kitchen by Hawa Hassan with Julia Turshen
This is a beautiful cookbook featuring the culinary insights of grandmothers (bibis) from eight African countries. I’m excited to experience a small taste of the rich and broad history of African cooking through this deeply personal lens. I cannot wait to cook my way through this entire book!
This is a beautiful book that makes me want to escape to the remote island of Sardinia and just eat pasta and fresh tomatoes all day. The recipes are simple yet elevated enough to serve to guests.
Kate’s words cut right to the place in my heart where I did not know how deeply I needed to feel seen. She brings us all closer together while leaving room for us to interpret her words through our own experiences.

This book has helped to engrain the deep importance of asking the right kinds of questions of ourselves before forming opinions.
