Where it came from
Tastes of Kenya was published in 1981 by Kenway Publications during a period when Kathy Eldon, a journalist and food writer, was deeply immersed in the cultural landscape of East Africa. The book serves as a culinary ethnography, documenting traditional Kenyan recipes alongside the personal narratives of the people she encountered, reflecting an era where there was a growing global interest in documenting regional African cuisines for an international readership.
The design and approach reflect Eldon's background as a storyteller, focusing on the connection between food, heritage, and the social fabric of Kenya rather than simple culinary instruction. By integrating personal anecdotes with practical guides to local ingredients, the work was received as a bridge between cultures, capturing a specific moment in Kenya's domestic history through the lens of those who prepared the meals.
