What more can I say? The book is about women and food and women talking about life while they cook -- and turning out great food! It will make you remember those nights in high school you ate raw chocolate-chip cookie dough (couldn't wait for the cookies) cuz you didn't have a date. It will also make you remember your mom's cooking --whether or not you loved or hated it!. This isn't just a history of indigoit's also a seamless series of travel essays, a memoir, a social, political, and cultural commentary, and lastly -- an unflinching homage to Africa and art. However, I prefer entertainingly written non-fiction and was sorely disappointed. Food lovers will find this a page turner, as I did. Even though her primary focus was the Gold Coast areas (with a beautiful glimpse into the Tuareg culture of North Africa) she did an excellent job of giving me a sense of the sheer enormity of the continent and the seemingly rich, infinite sub-strata of languages and cultures that it holds. And she doesn't flinch from depicting the harsh realities of life in Gold Coast Africa, especially for women and children.I've never been to Africaand, for the most part, I've never had a burning desire to go. The heart of the book is not just the food memories, but the memories of female friendships. It is simply a color, then a liveliho

A culture of corruption pervaded the New York Police Department, where payoffs, protection, and shakedowns of gambling rackets and drug dealers were common practice. The so-called blue code of silence protected the minority of crooked cops from the sanction of the majority.Into this maelstrom came a working class, Brooklyn-born, Italian cop with long hair, a beard, and a taste for opera and ballet. He had sworn an oath to uphold the law, even if the perpetrators happened to be other cops. The 1960s was a time of social and generational upheaval felt with particular intensity in the melting pot of New York City. Frank Serpico was a man who couldn't be silenced -- or bought -- and he refused to go along with the system. For this unwavering commitment to justice, Serpico nearly paid with his life.
