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.
