Why is it easier to find African cuisine in New York than it is in Cape Town?

bringing West African cuisine to mainstream dining in those countries, it has not been celebrated as much as other foods. Around the world, European food is still largely perceived as the superior cuisine. It wins more awards, is considered the default cuisine for celebratory dining, and comes at a higher price than most cuisines from the Global South.

Culinary schools all over the world take a standardised approach to training young chefs, and this is the way that cooking is taught and graded universally. In South Africa, in order to progress in a professional kitchen, all young chefs have to take the City & Guilds exam, a UK-based food training curriculum that is globally recognised. Culinary schools all over the country teach to accommodate the requirements of the City & Guilds qualification.

I visited New York earlier this year and found it easier to find African food restaurants there than in Cape Town, where I live. In South Africa, people across cultures have the fondest appreciation for their grandmother’s traditional cooking, which is often organic, sustainable and consists of whole foods—all very popular right now in the wellness movement. Yet, most of the plentiful successful city restaurants do not reflect pride in these traditional foods.

Xenophobia may harm Africa free trade dealThe recent xenophobic attacks could cast a shadow over ambitious plans for the African Continental Free Trade Agreement and cause a range of problems for South Africa, including the fact that the negotiating environment may become hostile for the country The African Continental Free Trade Agreement is not ours besides why would we want a Free Trade Zone with dictators There are Nigerians who are still going on selling drugs as usual as if nothing is happening. Keep on telling us about xenophobia. South Africans are not xenophobic. Media is singing the wrong tune. Drugs drugs drugs. I can’t go to SAPS because they collect money from them. If foreign nationals selling drugs to our young people is part of that African Continental Free Trade Agreement then we opt to withdraw than compromising our young people in the name of unity.
