How to Cook dishes from Africa
Africa is home to a very diverse range of people, cultures, religions, and climatic regions.
This is very much reflected by in African cuisine, which varies greatly across the continent.
African dishes use a wide range of different ingredients, preparation techniques, and styles
of cooking.
- In North Africa, many dishes are influenced by
Mediterranean cuisine and
Middle Eastern cuisine.
Each country in this region, of course has also developed own
culinary traditions, for example,
Egyptian cuisine tends to reflect
the country's long and productive agricultural history, whereas
Moroccan cuisine combines indigenous
ingredients and styles of cooking with some influences from
Spanish cuisine and Portuguese cuisine.
- Ethiopia is of course home to a very ancient civilization,
and has developed own distinctive style of cooking. Ethiopian cuisine
uses local ingredients local and spices, offers a wide range of vegetarian dishes, and also accommodates
the religous dietary requirements of Ethiopians, most of whom are either Ethiopian Orthodox Christians,
or Muslims.
- Somali cuisine is an eccletic mix of
indigenous Somali recipes with influences from
Arab cuisine,
Ethiopian cuisine,
Indian cuisine,
Italian cuisine,
Persian cuisine and
Turkish cuisine.
- West African cuisine tends to make use of starchy and root
vegetables, not all of which will be particularly familiar in western countries. Many dishes are
flavored using pepper or other spices.
- Since its first democratic elections in
1994,
South Africa
has come to be known, in the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as the "Rainbow Nation".
This phrase reflects the diversity of the country's people who include
indigenous African people, and people who can trace their descent to a wide range of countries
around the globe, including
the Netherlands,
the United Kingdom,
Malaysia,
India and
China,
This diversity of the people is very much reflected in
South African cuisine, which
combines influences from
Dutch cuisine,
British cuisine,
Malaysian cuisine,
Indian cuisine,
Chinese cuisine,
with
the culinary traditions of indigenous African people.
