Africa
Once known as the Dark Continent, when it comes to food Africa is anything but.
It's food markets and cuisines are as varied as the vast continent itself.
As we leave the shores of the Mediterranean, travelling through the trade routes of the Maghreb, the central jungles and down to the multicultural mix of South Africa, the food of the continent is as diverse as the people that call it home.
There are many spices native to certain African regions but there are equally as many introduced by traders and colonisers.
From the harrisas of Morroco to the India inspired curries in Durban, there's a spice palette to suit every taste and climate.
