Central AfricaThe spice palette of Central Africa is based mainly on the indigenous spices. Other than the chillies introduced to the region by Portuguese explorers, many of the spices used here can't be easily sourced outside the region. The influence of international travel and trade mean that local chefs are beginning to embrace imported spices such as garlic, pepper and bay-leaf. |
