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.
