he result is Africa Fusion Cooking – a unique tour for the taste buds that presents a wealth of delicious dishes infused with the distinctive flavours, textures and ingredients of the Africa Nina knows and loves.

Written with Western appetites in mind and ever-mindful of the purse strings, Africa Fusion Cooking presents over 100 flavoursome, colourful and easy-to-follow recipes that will enliven mealtimes and dinner parties without breaking the bank.
