Summary:

"In this landmark cookbook, chef Pierre Thiam, a native of Senegal, celebrates fonio, an ancient grain that can replace any grain in your favorite dishes. Grown for centuries in Africa, fonio is not only nutritious and gluten-free, but also as easy to cook as rice and quinoa. The Fonio Cookbook is full of simple recipes for the home cook, with both traditional West African dishes and Thiam's globally-inspired creations. The Fonio Cookbook also takes the reader on journey to Senegal's fonio-growing region, with evocative photos and stories of the harvest, detailing the grain's ease of growth and highlighting the people who transform fonio from crop to edible grain"--Back cover.
