While she spent her summer breaks in Kenya, her home in the states during the school year held African house parties where Nigerian jollof rice, moin moin (steamed bean cakes), roasted chicken legs, and plantains were a common part of life. On weekends and special occasions, they would make Kenyan dishes like samosas, sautéed collard greens, barbecued meat, and other favourites from her childhood, including Ethiopian and Eritrean recipes. As Kiano says, “Californian cuisine embraces the flavours of its immigrant communities while celebrating the state’s agriculture and the flavours of fresh produce,” and that’s the concept behind her cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfriCali\u003c\/em\u003e is not a traditional cookbook, but rather one inspired by the delicious meals Kiano has experienced in life.
