Foodways & Spicelines: Bringing The Flavors Of Africa To Your Table

Page 2: KRAFT Flavorful Living Magazine[1]

When Africans from diverse countries were spread throughout South America, the Caribbean, and the southern United States during the Atlantic slave trade, they brought more than their gestures, lifestyles, and religious practices—they also brought their food and food culture.

Today, you can find African influence right at your dinner table. Familial gatherings where community members shared communal plates of food are now Sunday dinners at Grandma’s house. And the African cooking style of embracing personalization has become the “dash of this and pinch of that” that creates the signature dishes your family loves.

So we at KRAFT Kitchens, along with consulting editor and food historian Jessica B. Harris, have charted a culinary course of African-influenced recipes using the KRAFT products you already know and love. And to sweeten the deal, your chef, G. Garvin, will complement the savory flavors of African-influenced cuisine with a few of his favorite KRAFT African-inspired desserts.

So explore, enjoy, and let these fresh dishes from KRAFT help you continue to create new tastes using the recipes of your roots. And for recipes that inspire sensible eating, keep an eye out for our Healthy Living sun.

GETTING TO THE ROOT OF YOUR RECIPES

Because Africa is situated at a cultural crossroads of the world, the cuisine was complex and diverse long before it expanded elsewhere. And though the introduction of new fruits, vegetables, and spices added more variety to African cuisine, the real magic was in the preparation. The same way your special touches lead to tasty favorites your family can’t get enough of, the African cooking style led to the development of new cuisines.

But we can’t dive into the appetizing ancestors of African cuisine without first trying a few dishes influenced by its more traditional tastes.

Today, a stroll down the sunny sidewalks of Salvador, Brazil would not only reveal Africa visually through its people and art, but also through its aromas and flavors as street vendors sell savory reminders of African dishes. The blending of both African and Portuguese culinary tastes and techniques has created new Afro-Brazilian flavors and a world-renowned cooking style.

creole FlavorsCreole, although the word is hard to define, roughly means mixed heritage and could refer to all African-inspired cooking because of its global influences. However, it typically refers to the blend of African, French, Spanish, Caribbean, and Native American ingredients and cooking styles, which has become the basis of Louisiana home cooking. And though its recipes have come from a variety of cultures, today’s Louisiana Creole tells its history on the plate.

Jazz things up with Creole-inspired recipes sure to wake up your family’s taste buds.
