How to Cook dishes from Africa

• 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.
