The Hidden Sensation in North Africa’s Chicken Tagine with Chickpeas and Mint

Northern Africa comes with many side attractions which include its hills and valleys, precious artefacts and ancient historical treasures, and also scrumptious choice delicacies. Although the people of northern Africa are perceived to be less friendly than other regions in Africa, this fact largely remains an individual perception as the respect they accord on the continent as well as their homely nature, speaks more than that perception.

A Scrumptious Journey through Tunisia

Tunisian cuisine is a blend of Mediterranean and desert dwellers’ culinary traditions. Its distinctive spicy fieriness comes from the many civilizations which have ruled the land now known as Tunisia. Many of the cooking styles and utensils began to take shape when the ancient tribes were nomads. Nomadic people were limited in their cooking implements by what pots and pans they could carry with them. A tagine in Tunisia is very different from the Moroccan dish. It is a type of a pie dish, made out of eggs, meat and vegetables, similar to the Italian frittata or the eggah. Pork is not traditionally used since its consumption is forbidden in the Sharia, the religious laws of Islam.

Sizzling Hot from the Kitchens of Bangkok

Just like most Asian delicacies, Thailand’s food needs little introduction as its spicy flavours are simply irresistible. From San Francisco to Sukhothai, its profusion of exotic flavours and fragrances make it among the most coveted of international cuisines. As a walk through Bangkok forcefully reminds, these flavours and fragrances are seemingly inexhaustible. However, whether it be juicy pieces of grilled pork on a stick or a fiery bowl of ‘Tom Yum’ soup, it has the ability to leave lasting memories in as many open minds.
