Exploring Madagascar’s Diverse Culinary Heritage
Welcome to my website, where I share delicious traditional Malagasy (Madagascan) cuisine.
I have been living in the UK for four years. Occasionally, I run out of ideas on what to cook and I browse the net to explore menus from around the world. I’ve noticed a lack of Malagasy (Madagascan) recipes. This gap inspired me to create this blog.
I hope you enjoy my recipes and appreciate their tropical flavor.
