Rooted at the Table.
Thirty recipes drawn from grandmothers, roadside markets, and slow Sunday kitchens — plant-forward, deeply seasoned, and made to be gathered around.
Cooking from roots, not trends.
Mizizi means roots in Swahili. This book celebrates African cuisine as fine dining — botanical, patient, generous — without safari clichés or wellness posturing. Just deep flavors, honest technique, and a table set for whoever walks in.
