African Female Living In America Wanting To Learn African Recipes by Glamrock(f): 2:55pm On Oct 24, 2013 |
Hello ALL! This is my second post in this site and in my first I explained a little about me and my situation. I would love to learn how to cook and try some cultural african foods that I don't get the chance to eat here in America. The food in Africa looks so good, pure, and natural! If anyone can share some simple/easy recipes for starters that would be greatly appreciated! I may or may not have a hard time finding some of the ingredients here so I say simple or easy for starters I'll try anything you would like to share: drinks, soups, small dishes, sauces. This is another way for me to connect with my roots. |

If you are truly an African, your mom who I suppose is an African woman born and bred in one of the numerous countries in Africa should be able to teach you. Alternatively, take a look at some of the threads here in the food section. They offer various recipes and you can take it from there. |

kelvin1191: Which part of Africa are u 4rm? BITTERLEAF SOUP Mmmm that sounds good , my ancestors were from west africa I'm learning more and more as time passes about them and many things of the African culture, I'm currently in the process of traces my roots and family back in the motherland. I'm taking notes this looks like a yummy recipe 1 Like |

4 tomatoes chopped 1 red (purple) onion chopped 1 habanero pepper chopped cook these ingredient with any boullion cube; fish, chicken, etc. to taste. Add cooked pre-packaged or fresh bite size chopped mustard or collard greens. After cooked down add 5 eggs OR 1 lb of shrimp OR any meat you prefer. Serve over rice or noodles. This I've found to be the most basic & the best I can do because I'm a terrible cook 1 Like |

P.S. Some of the ingredients Africans use aren't readily available to us in the U.S. Sometimes substitution is needed or find a GOOD Africa store. I have 2 within a mile in my little suburb |
