Food, it appears, plays a significant role in connecting individuals to their ancestors, and this is what distinguishes each continent.

Furthermore, international acceptance of cuisine aids in the promotion of a country’s culture, image, and sense of national pride. Unfortunately, thousands of African cuisines have gone unnoticed and unaccepted, owing to poor public relations and misrepresentation.

This calls for more industry drivers and promotion to instill a global acceptance. For centuries our cuisine has been a major part of our DNA and has kept our forefathers alive and without our cuisine there won’t be any African as food is a main ingredient for human survival and functionality.

In 2017, African Food Network began as a simple website and social media community with less than 50 recipes and a few thousand followers; now it has since grown to become the largest online African food community with over 1 million social followers grossly and 500+ recipes from various authors. The African food network shows an enthusiasm for food that is very infectious. It makes the fantasy of every food lover come true by giving them a step-by-step directory on how to prepare every mouth-watering African Delicacy they crave for. These recipes are sourced from different chefs and authors well-versed in the traditional dishes of every African tribe. African Food Network shows an array of the beauty found in the diversity, uniqueness and colorfulness discovered in African cuisines.

Nigerian entrepreneur, African food-tech magnate, and brand strategist, Kevin Eze has made enormous contributions to the African food landscape. Kevin Eze is evidently one of the very few who have taken it upon themselves to change the narrative of this. His vision is to create a global brand that largely portrays Africa to the world via its cuisines. According to the founder, “African Food Network was founded to reshape the world’s perspective of African cuisine, chefs, and traditional cooks. The future is indeed bright for African Food Network, we’re here to stay and build a legacy that would be stand for generations to come, if we as Africans can’t come together to promote and honor our food and culture no one would, we’re here to be the major drivers of this goal”.

Kevin Eze has achieved and experienced some major milestones in his journey, from founding African Food Network to hosting the popular African Food Festival.  African Food & Drinks Festival was created with the sole aim to celebrate African culture through food, it’s a periodical festival which would be done in different cities around the world to promote and commemorate black culture with food and drinks from the rich continent of Africa. After a successful debut in Abuja, Nigeria in 2021, African Food Festival has Accra, Ghana as next destination for their festival.

African Food Network aims to build a community, showcase, and provide guidance and resources to chefs, cooks, food entrepreneurs and enthusiasts. The Community Outreach was created to explore the many initiatives that support African food access and popularity.  These initiatives work together to support the mission of the African Food Network at the community level. It provides details of a range of community initiatives, provides information and resources about African food, details opportunities to connect and collaborate locally.
