9 popular African Food Bloggers and Vloggers You Have To Follow

Who doesn’t love African food? I know I do. It’s not all about the taste either. It’s the sight and smells and the excitement of putting together a handful of fresh African ingredients and producing something that is absolutely delicious and traditionally African.

Once upon a day, I used to love sifting through African recipe books for inspiration.

But now, things have changed. With the internet at our fingertips, it is so easy to find something traditionally African with a new and exciting twist to tantalize our taste buds. There are not only recipes from dedicated online communities but vloggers and bloggers who write and speak about their passion for African food from every part of Africa.

African food is so vibrant and exciting that we thought we would take a look at some of the most inspiring foodies out there that really bring it to life.
