Africa is the second largest land mass on earth and home to hundreds of tribes, ethnic and social groups. This diversity is reflected in our cuisine. Geographically and from a culinary point of view, the continent can be divided into three principal regions: North Africa, sub-Saharan and Southern Africa. Contrary to popular western perceptions of a predominantly meat-based diet many traditional African dishes contain very little meat. In fact, authentic African cooking consists largely of organically produced whole grains and beans, fresh fruit and vegetables. In an increasingly health-conscious society, African cuisine may well become the new healthy way of cooking.

CAMEROON SESAME CRUSTED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORIANDER AND ORANGE DRESSING
Vegetarian Option: Grilled Cauliflower Salad
Sesame seed is considered to be the oldest oilseed crop known to humanity.
The genus has many species, and most are wild. Most wild species are native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is also a robust crop that needs little farming support, it is a crop that can be grown by subsistence farmers at the edge of deserts, where no other crops grow. Sesame has been called a survivor crop.
