SAFARA

Safara, the arabic word for journey or travel. That is the name of my new magazine website which is dedicated to African food and travel. I am an African and I serve people African food for a living. My catering company Simply African has been providing catering services to mostly business clients for nearly a year now. The business is doing well, not as well as I had hoped for. But part of the reason is that I have been unable to employ a chef who understands African food (and I do mean food from the whole continent) and who would like to help me take the business to new heights. The other reason is that people have not been exposed to African food. This is about to change. Safara Magazine is born and is there to help everyone prepare African food in their own home. It will show you how to prepare the African cocktails, tell you about the best African wines (not just the South African wines); you will get information about the different places where this great food comes from and hopefully, it will help you see Africa in a better light.
Why not decide that tomorrow night is Africa night and try and prepare African food and also get some wines. You know, the more you buy African produce and products, the less poverty you will see on the continent. Buying African provides jobs and then you will be able to stop senidng aid to the continent. We need trade not aid.
