Healthy and flavorful West African cuisine.

They say cooking is a cultural expression of one's self and I couldn't agree more. As a child, I remember the family sitting around the famous "three stone fireplace", telling stories, sharing laughs, as we awaited mom’s delicious meal. Our food came from the bounty of our lands, healthy, unprocessed, and flavorful. With Afrovitalityeats, I hope to share my West African Heritage with you, through food.
