Abstract:This article on African cuisines and nationbuilding first looks at the notion of 'a national cuisine' before examining African cuisines and what Africans eat, African cookery books for the Western kitchen, and African national cuisines. It then presents a more detailed study of the first signs of a national cuisine emerging in Equatorial Guinea, as this illustrates well the range of actors implicated in the promotion of national cuisines. Finally, the article addresses the question of how the development of a national cuisine might be implicated in building a gendered concept of the African nation.
