| Introduction | I was born into a heat hazed African dawn, and a large, loud, loving, laughing family whose lives eddied and swirled around the steady beating heart of us, my mother, and the endlessly loving, comforting and nurturing heart of her, her kitchen. I have travelled half way across the world and started my own family, but the magic of her kitchen comes with me and she is always close. |
