1. How to cook African food
Jollof Rice is a food most common in West Africa. Although many dispute its origins, most seem to
believe that Senegal ought to take credit for its creation. To the Western world, however, it could be
compared to 'Spanish Rice' where white rice is boiled and added to flavorful stock to make a
delicious meal.
