Hannah Pool is a British woman with origins in Eritrea. She was adopted by a British  family as a baby child and taken to England.

She recently published a book called “My Fathers’ Daughter”. In the book she writes about growing up as a black girl in a white family, with many questions regarding her identity, until she finally travels to Eritrea.

In her latest venture for the guardian, Hannah made a video together with Kaleab Hiskays, the manager of Zigni House restaurant in London, where she explains how to make Injera.

Now, this is a good thing to do, because many of us rely on their mums to get the yearly ration of Injera, which an Eritrean needs to survive. Most of us have never learned or tried to take the art of Eritrean cuisine with us when we left our parent’s home to live our own lives.

How often do young Eritrean men come across the warning by their parents, which sounds like this: “You will see what you get, if you do not marry an Eritrean girl, who takes care of you and knows how to make Injera!” Here we go; in most of the cases our parents were right.

Therefore, we appreciate the little introduction given by Hannah Pool into the art of making Injera. There is also an article in the guardian, which gives additional insight into Hanna’s culinary excursion to the Horn of Africa. Watch the Video on The Guardian
