Thursday, April 19, 2012Tropical Foodies: What to Eat in an Ethiopian Restaurantby Linda Dempah, Tropical FoodiesGoing to an Ethiopian restaurant is an interesting experience. It is not just about the food, which is delicious. It's also about the surroundings, the community, and the touch-and-feel rhythm of eating food with your hands.

Thursday, April 05, 2012What Is Ethnic Food Anyway?by Linda Dempah, Tropical FoodiesI attended an international food event in NYC last week, and out of the many categories of cookbooks, covering topics such as the best cut of meats (a couple of tables), cookies (three to four tables), there was one section dedicated to “international food,” including Japanese, Korean, Brazilian, Ghanaian, and more. This got me to thinking.

Thursday, March 22, 2012Tropical Foodies: The Top 10 East African Dishesby Linda Dempah, Tropical FoodiesIn order to write this list of 10 must-try dishes from East Africa, I did not solely rely on personal experience. I also consulted friends (many thanks to you!) from several East African countries and asked them what their favorite dishes were. It was interesting that not a single one cited a dish from a country other than their own.

Thursday, March 08, 2012Tropical Foodies: A Debate Between Foufou and Fufu, and Why Is Ugali So Popular?by Linda Dempah, Tropical FoodiesI received a lot of feedback on my last column about the top 10 West African dishes to eat, and it was great. West Africans, it seems, feel strongly about their favorite dishes. A lot of places in Africa would benefit from Africans being passionate about what they make, what they are the best at, and their own culture, so hats off to you!

Thursday, February 23, 2012Tropical Foodies: Top 10 West African Dishesby Linda Dempah, Tropical FoodiesPutting a list of 10 dishes to try in West Africa was a delectable task: I had mouth-watering visions of scrumptious, flavorful dishes and it was hard to focus on the writing. I am sure there are dozens more dishes that could be on this list—in fact, I am fairly certain I could come up with a different list every week!
