Full description for How to Cook Your Husband the African Way

  • Miss Aissatou lives in Paris, close to The Bastille. When she falls for her neighbour, Mr Bolobolo, she uses ancient African techniques to cast a gastronomic love spell and prise him away from two lurking rivals: his mother and his mistress. The determined Aissatou plies her beloved with arcane delights: turtle with banana, smoked antelope with pistachio nuts and the most fool-proof of love charms, crocodile in Sauce Tchobi. Our heroine has no time for the Western cult of thinness. 'Don't eat - can't live' is her motto. But she adores the cosmetics of Paris, and bathes herself compulsively in Venus de Milo and Skin Success. Bolobolo is soon enraptured by Aissatou's charms - but mother and mistress cling on tight. Will the crocodile work its magic, and win Aissatou her man? A bestseller in France, How to Cook Your Husband The African Way offers the reader two-for-one: a touching, witty love story and a host of recipes that won't be found in any Western cookbook.
