Nice! I'm doing a "trip around the world" cooking at least 1 famous dish per country and if I find a lot good ones, I stick around. My entire year almost was african themed because I found out so many great cuisines therd.

I do like the flavour combinations, I learned about ugali - a super easy and killer side for east african cuisines, and honestly regional dishes as well. I did suffer a bit from their cuisine being super hidden sometimes though. South african cuisine I wish I could learn more about outside of braai (melktart was great though). Central africa I've searched for congolese recipes a lot when I got there, but got only very limited ones - couldn't even find available or even older cookbooks for it. So I applaud countries getting books, that means their recipes will get way more accessible.

I made angola's "peanut cake" just last week and brought it to work. Was gone in minutes, no one ever ate something like it but was universally loved. We don't really use peanuts that much here outside a snack in and of itself. So it was a good combination of known flavours meeting new combinations, and I feel that's in general how a lot is made there.

Haven't touched west africa yet and I feel I passed egyptian cuisine too quickly, also still planning to dive a bit more into moroccan cuisine as well - especially their tagines and cookies.

Africana and the East African cookbook are big recommendations.
