Amazon.com reviews:

“Pull up a chair and join Mma Ramotswe at the table as she celebrates the flavours of the bestselling series "The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency". Discover the favourite recipes of our 'traditionally built' heroine and her friends, accompanied by lavish photography - sumptuous stews for sharing, fabulous fruit cakes for eating under shady trees, with redbush tea of course, and the spices, traditions and culture of Botswana that make every meal together special. Welcome Precious, her friends and the sunshine of Botswana into your kitchen. It offers a traditionally-built feast for all the senses! It features a foreword by Alexander McCall Smith. It includes photography by Mats Ogren Wanger and Ulf Nermark.”

“FIVE STARS!!! This is a very colourful book for the coffee table or for trying southern African culinary. The beautiful pictures and concise recipe texts take the reader around in Mma Ramotswe's style. The book captures the movements of the traditionally-built Mma Ramotswe in a graceful manner. It triggers the nostalgia of the happiness that cooking is meant to bring to our daily lives.”

“FIVE STARS!!! Devotees of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency will eat this up. The photography of Botswana's people, places, and foods is lush, and the writing is even better. Stuart Brown's lively text merges seamlessly with quotes from McCall Smith's books. As for the recipes, they're not really the main point here, but all are clearly presented and inviting.”
