The 1st Annual Pan-African Food Festival is in the works. For the first time ever, diners will enjoy a true Pan-African table, with food and and wine from places like Ethiopia, Jamaica, Morocco, New Orleans, Nigeria, Atlanta, Belize, New York, South Africa, Cuba, Brazil, Haiti, Kenya, Barbados, London, Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Puerto Rico, and Angola. Hosted by B. Francis Clark, this podcast will feature international chefs, authors, and foodies, and chronicle the historic production of the tastiest, spiciest, and most overdue food festival there has ever been. Sounds delish.
Christian Davis is the co-founder, with Meymuna Hussein-Cattan, of Flavors from Afar in Los Angeles. As a social enterprise extension of the Tiyya Foundation, Flavors from Afar works with refugees and asylum seekers to create an authentic, rotating menu featuring traditional dishes from around the world. The refugee chefs receive a portion of the monthly sales, and 40% of the proceeds go to the Tiyya Foundation. Great food for a great cause.
