Yesterday, I introduced Sandy Salle and her ethnic cookbook, A Taste of Africa: Culinary Journeys Through the World’s Most Beautiful Continent. The cookbook includes recipes from a cross section of chefs who focus on southern and Eastern Africa cuisine along with useful information about each African location.  

Today, meat lovers can enjoy Salle’s favorite recipe for stuffed chateaubriand. This entree is prepared at The Hide Safari Camp located in the Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest game reserve. The Hide consistently stands out from its competition as one of the Best Safari Lodges in Zimbabwe.
