Across Africa’s vast landscapes – from the spice-laced stews of North Africa to the smoky grills of Southern savannas -cooking is a communal art rooted in rhythm, resilience, and the garden’s bounty.

In this chapter of the Country Recipe Challenge, we explore dishes that honor ancient grains, bold spices, and herbs like coriander, mint, and African basil. Each recipe is a window into a region’s soul, shaped by climate, culture, and centuries of storytelling.

Whether you’re simmering a Moroccan tagine, folding injera in Ethiopia, or grilling suya in Nigeria, these recipes invite you to taste the continent’s warmth, grow its flavors in your garden, and celebrate the vibrant tapestry of African cuisine.
