“What moves me most about In Bibi’s Kitchen is Hawa Hassan’s
connection with these admirable women whose cooking traditions
serve their families and help define their communities at home and
abroad. I am thankful to see their faces, to meet them in their own
words, and to know them and their diverse cultures far beyond the
stifling generalities that America so often wields to conflate
African people. This book illustrates what the wisest among us have
known all along: The seat of power in food—its soul and
expertise—has always begun at home, at the hands of skilled women
in their kitchens.”—Osayi Endolyn, James Beard Award–winning
writer
“In Bibi’s Kitchen is rooted in tradition and reverence, but
carries forth its stories with an urgency and energy that feels
brand new. The book’s tenderly reported interviews and East African
recipes shine a light on a group who must be seen, must be heard
from. Of course we all need more bibis in our lives. And we need
the ones in these pages more now than ever. In Bibi’s Kitchen is an
inimitable accomplishment and an essential read that will enrich
kitchens and souls everywhere it lands.”—Howie Kahn, New York Times
bestselling author, James Beard Award winner, and host of Take Away
