The Heartbeat of East Africa
Kenyan cuisine is as diverse as its people. With over 40 distinct ethnic groups, the food reflects a wonderful variety of produce, grains, and livestock. At its heart, Kenyan food is about fresh, local ingredients and communal eating, epitomized by the famous Nyama Choma.
Literally 'grilled meat' in Swahili, this is a cornerstone of Kenyan social gatherings, often featuring goat or beef, slow-roasted over charcoal.
A dense porridge made from maize flour, the most common staple food in Kenya, perfect for scooping up stews and vegetables.
'Push the week' in Swahili, this simple yet nutritious dish of collard greens is sautéed with onions and spices.
A fresh, zesty tomato and onion salad, often with chili and coriander, that provides a refreshing counterpoint to rich grilled meats.
