Eastern Africa
user ratingEast Africa comprises 19 territories ranging from the Comoros islands to mountainous Kenya. The cuisines of these countries are largely a reflection of the region's heritage, retaining flavors that were brought over by the Portuguese, Arabs and other groups throughout history. Seafood dishes and curries are particularly dominant because of the East Africa’s proximity to the Indian Ocean. From simple meals of grains and vegetables, to elaborate feasts of wild animals with spicy sauces, the region offers a great variety of food to satiate a hungry adventurer.—Alexandra Menglide
