Mama Sarah Obama: Home Cooking Recipes

Mama Sarah Obama: My Home Cooking Recipes is not only a recipe book: It describes the eating habits of Sarah Obama's family. It gives glimpses of the kitchen and culture of East Africa. Sarah's tales portray on one hand - her daily effort to put food on her family's table, on the other - family gatherings, including the ones with her famous grandson President Barack Obama, around her home cooking and freshly served meals.

Mama Sarah Obama: My Home Cooking Recipes was created by international interviewer and author Daphne Barak as well as members of the Obama family while writing "Mama Sarah Obama: Our Dreams & Roots". The family members who stayed at Barak's home in the U.S., cooked Sarah Obama's favorite dishes - while assisting Barak to complete Sarah's autobiography. Many of them played a role in the family history including the reunion and ongoing encounters with President Barack Obama, his wife Michelle and later - his daughters. Prominent doctor Mark Hyman found Sarah Obama's cooking and eating habits as "healthy" to both your body and mind. Dietitian Marilyn Pabon joined this conclusion happily, after adding nutrition value to each dish. And friends of Barak who tasted each one of the dishes, cooked by the Obamas, gave it a unanimous "High 5".
