Beside the bedside table, sat stacks of cookbooks: Larousse Gastronomique; Joy of Cooking; Classic Indian Cooking; The Soul of a New Cuisine: A Discovery of the Foods and Flavors of Africa; Mastering the Art of French Cooking; The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook; Ottolenghi: The Cookbook; The Complete Caribbean Cookbook; and Afro-Vegan: Farm-Fresh African, Caribbean, and Southern Flavors Remixed.
