I have found very few copies of this cookbook available online, it's truly rare! Copies in decent condition are even harder to find.


From research it seems this cookbook was originally published in 1974 by the Malawi Ministry of Health to raise money for children’s vaccinations, the Save the Children fund, and UNICEF combatting malnutrition. I believe this copy to be from the mid-80s, as the "metric edition" is cited as published in 1985. It was published and printed in Malawi according to a stamp and citations in the book (see photos). It also features advertisements from businesses local to Lilongwe and Blantyre.


The condition of this book is remarkable for its age, only one corner of the back cover has minor wrinkling from a fold.


164 pages


JAMMED with recipes using regional ingredients including meat, fruit, vegetables, grain, and insects.
