Explore a cuisine that’s having a moment in the spotlight, with Food‘s Autumn cover story on the defining dishes of West Africa. 

In the new issue, the magazine explores the stories behind four delicious dishes — peanut stew, thieboudienne (a rice dish said to be the ‘original’ jollof), cassava leaf stew and akara (black bean fritters) — and talks to the chefs bringing them to a wider audience.  

Plus, we explore how home cooks in Romania’s Transylvania region are opening their doors to visitors to share their traditional cuisine; enjoy a hearty family meal surrounded by mountains in Liechtenstein; and discover the varied cuisine of Italy’s Adriatic coast. All this, plus the best of Los Angeles, Istanbul and Vilnius in the Autumn issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK).
