Winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for African Cookbooks!

Heralded as a comprehensive introduction to Gambian cooking, The Gambian Cookbook brings together the traditions, flavours and generosity of families across the Smiling Coast.

Featuring more than 80 recipes, the book explores the breadth of Gambian home cooking, from well-loved rice dishes, rich stews and fresh fish to sauces, snacks, drinks and everyday family favourites. Alongside familiar classics are recipes that reflect the diversity of ingredients, communities and culinary traditions found throughout The Gambia.

Having spent their formative childhood years in The Gambia, Michele Daryanani and Shakhil Shah developed a shared passion for friends, family and good food. This book is an invitation to bring those flavours to your own table and to discover a cuisine shaped by hospitality, shared meals and generations of tradition.
