Welcome back! It’s time for the first post – and deep dive – into the country where I was born, even if I’m starting with the opposite end of it. I have such fond memories of the food my family and my mom would cook for me at home. Even though we lived in Austria…

Today my journey of random countries took me to Kenya, back to East Africa, which gave me an opportunity to also retry some dishes that didn’t turn out super well the first time I made them for my first post about Uganda.

#9 Sudan – back to Africa!
Mer魔aba! Week 9 brings us to Sudan in northern Africa. I was a bit conflicted about making food from a country which is undergoing a really devastating famine at the moment but it also didn’t feel right to exclude them based on that. If you have the means, I would ask you to consider donating…
