The cuisine across Africa is rich and varied, with influences from around the world. From the Moroccan tagine, a slow-cooked stew, to matoke (steamed green bananas) in Uganda and fufu (pounded meal from starchy items such as cassava, yam or plantains) in West Africa, there’s plenty to experience. East African cuisine has Mediterranean and Indian influences with curries, chapattis (flatbreads), lentils and pickles being staples, while South African cuisine is a confluence of French, Indian, Malaysian and local Bantu cooking techniques.
