Fufu for beginners — The rise of African food in Australia

Food is a great unifier. It brings us together as a multicultural community (who doesn't love a good feed?) and it can foster a deeper connection to our own heritage. Right now, the many and varied cuisines of Africa are on the rise in Australia. Through recipes and ingredients passed hand to hand and heart to heart, more African flavours and dishes are finding their way out of the home and onto restaurant menus, festival stalls and your social media feed, gaining new fans every day.

Guests: 

• Fatma Mohamed, director of the Africultures Festival
• Nathaniel Ola-Roberts, Krio Descendants Union food stallholder
• Mary Akindele, owner and operator of Mary's
• Santilla Chingaipe, writer, historian and presenter of the documentary series Tastes of Africa
• Kauthar Abdulalim, filmmaker, creator and producer of Tastes of Africa
