About the Author
Shereen Jog grew up in Tanga, a port in the beautiful coastal region of Tanzania. Her large family gathered around a long wooden dining room table to enjoy delicious meals prepared by the women of the household. Her own cooking journey began when she met her future husband and she transitioned from home cook to passionate hobbyist, incorporating the varied culinary traditions of her heritage and environment, as well as her world travels. Motherhood was the inspiration to explore new methods of cooking using only natural and organic foods.
