What types of food are most popular in Madagascar?
What flavors & spices help them create the unique dishes?
Why are some of their dishes referred to as Malagasy?
Loosely translated, Malagasy seems to reflect mainly the culture of Madagascar, but in terms of their diet, both words are used.
Before people traveled to Madagascar, they didn’t know much about the cuisine of the country or what types of food they would find. Then, they visited the local restaurants, markets and villages and discovered the influences, approaches and undertones of the local dishes.
The foods of Madagascar reflect the diversity of the country. Colonial France influenced them, as did the people who came from the regions of Malaysia and Indonesia. So did the Middle East, Eastern Asia and some countries in East Africa, through trading and migration.
Madagascar has many rice fields, along with minimal spices like pepper and vanilla. Tubers and roots like potatoes are used in many dinner dishes. They also have copious vegetables and fruits and a lengthy coastline offering many types of seafood.
In this cookbook, you’ll find a true taste of the dishes of Madagascar. Try some soon!
