What I Learned from Cooking My Way Across a Continent | Dieuveil Malonga | TED
Chef Dieuveil Malonga embarked on a two-year journey across 48 African countries, immersing himself in traditional cooking by learning directly from grandmothers. He discovered that African food is deeply intertwined with culture, history, and celebration, highlighting the vast diversity from Cameroon's Ndolé to Nigeria's numerous tribal dishes. Malonga now leads the Culinary Innovation Village, a center dedicated to training the next generation of African chefs. This initiative promotes indigenous ingredients, fosters culinary exchange, and aims to elevate African cuisine to global recognition, sharing its rich heritage with the world.
