  2. I grew up on a farm in the Banket area. As a white boy, I ate mostly what the local Shona people ate, and am now desperately trying to find the recipes for foods I once so enjoyed. I have been trying get the recipe for Potohayi (sp?) made from local maize meal and although I have ideas, it would be nice to acquire this book. How does one purchase this book and how much is it?
