African foods new frontier
In recent years it was widely heralded as the moment when African food finally arrived in the foodie capitals of the world. But what exactly is African food? Is it the no-frills heartiness of South African pap en vleis with chakalaka, the boundless variety of piri piri-imbued seafood served up in Mozambique, the sponginess of slightly sour injera soaking up a variety of Ethiopian stews, or the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink inclusiveness of jollof rice? Africa's food is as unimaginably varied as the continent is vast, and we are witnessing ever more interplays between old and new, between tradition and reinterpretation.
African cuisine: Lands of plenty
African cuisine is as diverse as the many cultures that exist on the continent, and its cuisine is not only reflective of this rich diversity but is also full of flavour.
