The majority of this collection draws from two dominant African culinary traditions: West African dishes centred on Nigerian cooking (jollof rice, egusi soup, suya, plantain stews, palm-oil soups) and Ethiopian and East African recipes (injera-based stews, doro wat, tibs, pilau rice, spiced lentils). A small selection of North and Sub-Saharan dishes rounds out the catalog. Many recipes are naturally vegan or vegetarian. Browse by diet from the Vegan or Vegetarian pages, or use the regional filters below to narrow to West African, Nigerian, Ethiopian, or other sub-traditions.
