"And we believe that Africa, the mother continent, is the ultimate destination to deliver on these promises. Africa is a land of incredible diversity and almost inconceivable contrasts, with its colourful cultural splendours, its famine, its drought and internecine battles. Africa boasts some of the most exciting cuisine in the world, yet paradoxically and tragically, many who live here have so little. It is a continent of great contrasts: wild, exciting, sometimes bountiful, sometimes drought-stricken or flooded. Above all else, however, it is a beautiful, vital continent with the most wonderful climate, naturally hospitable people and an abundance of exotic, delicious and colourful produce. We wanted our food to exude the essence of Africa's richness, its history and its soul. We were determined that our food would celebrate rather than corrupt the continent's fresh produce with Western fads and fussiness. The freshest of the fresh locally produced food was our aim, purchased from surrounding communities: lusty limes, fragrant vanilla pods, luminous lemon grass shoots, heady handfuls of mint, ruby-red tomatoes bursting with flavour and nourishment from the African sun. African food is wholesome and natural - not drowned in sauces and over-processed, over-reduced and over-presented. We invite you to feast your senses on Africa's culinary glories." - A Kitchen Safari
