In one of my favorite Ayiba Magazine interviews yet, I spoke to the creator of new blog United Nations of Food about his culinary adventures and his experiences with African cuisine (obviously a passion of mine).

"Hearty, honest, and underappreciated. African food is never pretentious, it’s rarely dainty, and far too few non-Africans know about it."
