bon appétit.
The cuisine of Africa has been shaped by multiple cultures throughout the centuries, and is a mélange of French, Dutch, British, Persian, Portuguese, Indian, and Malaysian influences.
Cassava, yams, plantains. Peanuts. Dark greens and bright melons. Scallions and garlic. Ginger. Lime and chiles. Bananas and coconut. Figs, apricots, and dates. Grilled lamb. Braised chicken. Freshly baked pocket bread and crisp flat breads.
These are just some of the many colorful ingredients that are flavored with pungent spices – like cumin, allspice, and cloves – to create dishes with depth and delicious contrasts between salty and sweet, crispy and chewy, cool and hot.
