African Breakfast Recipes

African breakfast recipes help you start your day right the African way. Find your favorite dish in the library of both traditional and modern recipes. Every country has its specialty, so take a fascinating food trip without leaving home.

Mandazi in Kenya, akara in Nigeria, and mealie in South Africa. Of course, there’s so much more. Try a filling shakshuka if you love eggs for breakfast. A lot of people have coffee and bread for breakfast. If that’s how you roll, try chapati, vitumbua, or Koeksisters with a cup of coffee or chai.

Bobotie can be made with ground pork for a comfort food recipe
