Welcome

**ON PAUSE/HIATUS ** My African Food Map is an ongoing series committed to introducing and making popular cuisine from Africa accessible to you.

Focusing on one country at a time, I will dedicate at least a month to showcasing four popular dishes by uploading one, ±4-minute film for the duration of that time. Each dish will be introduced through local food enthusiasts, so we know that we will be getting a very special perspective on the way it is prepared and how it is best enjoyed.

Alongside the recipe feature, I may also upload a “my VOICE” featurette, which will accent the main dish by, for example, pointing to any alternative information about its origins, or alternate preparatory methods – or basically any train of thought that the featured recipe or country stimulates.

Watch, share and follow the uploads on You Tube, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. Your comments on any uploads will always be welcome and I look forward to hearing from you!

- Posted October 6, 2019.

I was recently invited to participate on a panel in the UNESCO World Forum, which took place in Parma in mid-September. It was an intense and interesting couple of days, which gave each participant a glimpse into the various paths food had taken us, through the lenses of culture, education, and sustainability. The part where I introduce myself and the Food Map starts at 3:34:41 mins:

    My African Food Map

    An authentic collection of the most popular recipes from around the African continent. It is the start of a growing record of African recipes just as they are made, by people who love to eat them, and who prepare them every day.

    The Gemüse Project

    The Gemüse Project is a small, Berlin-based production outfit, which was created in 2007. Headed by Tuleka Prah, the company employs freelancers for various tasks, depending on the job requirements. Here’s a link to the latest Gemüse Project commission, completed in 2017.

    Dr Tuleka Prah

    I’m a filmmaker, editor, and food enthusiast living and working in Berlin. I’ve been in Berlin for a little over 13 years now and am generally happy with my decision to move here. I’m the middle child of three, so, I am an older and younger sister. I love to read – I’m in constant need of a new book – and I love making films.

    I also have an addiction to cherry tomatoes and honey pomelos. I could eat these all day. I always have ideas and am lucky to get a chance at seeing some through from time to time. One of these ideas was the Food Map.

    My African Food Map is literally a combination of things I love because it includes, food, travel and making films!
