With flavors so diverse, it’s no wonder the latest trend on the culinary stage finds its roots in African cooking.
Africa, made up of 54 countries with strong influences stemming from the Middle East and Mediterranean Europe, has chefs taking notice. Similar to Tex-Mex and Mexican foods, it’s common to find dishes that have the same name but different taste. A popular slow-cooked stew in Morocco known as tagine is served with the consistency of a frittata in Tunisia.
Although their styles may be different, their spices remain the same. African spices are known for their big, bold taste and bright colors. The most popular flavors are a mixture of common spices already found on your shelf.
