Peace Corps Mauritania Cookbook Page Index
Years ago there was a Peace Corps Mauritania cookbook. It was largely lost to history until a copy turned up in a regional house and eventually made its way into my hands. These are scans of those pages. At the bottom of the page are some new recipes (mostly for alcohol) that were popular during my stay from 2003-2006.
