Yetsom Beyaynetu (Ethiopia)

About the Book

A deeply aromatic, communal, and ancient journey through the highland kitchens of Addis Ababa, the fasting tables of Orthodox Christianity, the coffee forests of Kaffa, and the rich culinary traditions of one of Africa's oldest civilisations. Yetsom Beyaynetu (meaning "Fasting Platter" in Amharic) presents ten of Ethiopia's most iconic dishes and traditions, each with a stunning full-page professional photograph, a complete ingredient list, a detailed step-by-step method, and an insider Chef's Tip. From the fiery, dark Doro Wat to the spongy, sour Injera, from the silky Kitfo tartare to the sacred Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony — this book captures the extraordinary depth, generosity, and soul of Ethiopian cuisine.
