Blurb:

A friend of mine never tires of telling us how she once


tried to break away from the routine of preparing the


familiar dish of timman wa marag (rice and stew) for


her family of four. She cooked juicy creamed chops


with a side dish of French fries, instead. ‘They ate those,


all right,’ she would say chuckling, but then came the


inevitable question, ‘Okay, now, where is our timman


wa marag?’ This shows how futile it is to try to depart


from a routine which has been ingrained in our eating


habits and sustained us for more than five thousand


years (see Introduction). Indeed, why try to do so in the


first place? Timman wa marag is delicious, healthy, easy,


convenient, and economic.
