I'll bet that I would own and use the entire set if I'd started young,
like you did. I'm finding that I'm less and less adventurous about
cooking now than I was way back when.

Our guest room has an African decorating theme (Cathy says the stuff
is authentic - YAY!). I have a few books about Africa (eBay), between
two elephant-head bookends, including a few cookbooks. I found the
Time-Life Africa book (just the large one) at the local thrift store,
so that's there, too. Thought it would be fun for any foodies who
happened to stop by for a night or three.
