Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife, Hon. Rebecca Miano, joined Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) members at St. Andrews Church for the launch of “The Kenya Cookery Book and Household Guide.” This publication celebrates Kenya’s rich culinary traditions while offering practical guidance on household management and nutrition.
The event, led by the PCEA Woman’s Guild, highlighted the essential role of proper nutrition in health and wellness. One standout chapter, “Foods Required for Different Ages,” emphasizes tailoring diets to meet the nutritional needs of children, adults, and seniors. This section underscores the importance of adapting food choices to various life stages for optimal health.
In her remarks, CS Miano praised the book’s authors for their timely contribution to Kenyan literature, calling it a “must-read” for those seeking to improve their culinary expertise and understand the link between diet and health.
“This approach is particularly crucial,” Miano said, “since adhering to dietary guidelines specific to life phases is key to reaping the benefits of good health.”
The launch of “The Kenya Cookery Book and Household Guide” is a testament to the impact of community-driven initiatives in promoting well-being and preserving cultural heritage. With its rich content and practical advice, the book is poised to become an invaluable resource for families and individuals seeking to make informed dietary choices.
The PCEA Woman’s Guild and the book’s authors were commended for bringing this vital project to fruition, reinforcing the importance of culinary and nutritional knowledge in everyday life.
