Ukuva iAfrica's story is a travellers' tale told in flavours: some from the original "Recipes from a Rucksack", some were added by later travellers, because such is the nature of the stories of Africa... there are many travellers and many journeys: many threads to weave into the tale.

Towards the beginning of the last decade of the previous century, a traveller left London on a journey of discovery that took him and his companion through Africa: from Casablanca to Dakar, across the Sahara to Cairo and eventually Cape Town, via Zanzibar and Mombassa... a journey of a thousand (or two) meals - some decidedly more memorable than others.
