Efter finanskrisen så är alla extra bevakande över sin ekonomi och mer medvetna över hur man slänger runt hundralapparna. Många är också missmodiga med att gå ut i denna omåttliga kyla för att njuta av en god middag och ett gott vin.

Så varför inte värma upp kylan med något från Sydafrika?
 
Caribbean, African and Swedish food
Written by urbanlife.se   

Both African as well as Caribbean foods are rooted in their history and agricultural origins. If you want to replicate the same aromas as your traditional ethnic Caribbean and African food here in Sweden, it need not be an intimidating experience.

You can purchase local ingredients from Sweden to make your very own African or Caribbean meal!

Rum is one of the world’s best-selling alcohol brands, and we have heard a lot about it but what is the history behind it?

When you hear Rum, you probably connect it to the well-known drinks such as Havana Beach, Cuba Libre and Fidel Castro. If you break the drinks down to the roots, they actually give you a hint of where Rum originated from. Guess once.

No, Cuba is not the sole answer.

Common Caribbean drinks

Rum is the most popular drink in the Caribbean and many cocktails revolve around this versatile drink. The Cajun Wallbanger is another famous tropical drink that combines Tequila, Orange Juice, Jack Daniels and a bit of crushed ice. In terms of non-alcoholic drinks there is the famous Morir Sonando, which combines orange juice, evaporated milk, ice cubes and sweetener or sugar. The name of this drink literally means to die in a dream. So, one can well imagine the lovely taste and aroma of this drink!


Common African drinks

One of the famous drinks in Africa is called Nutty African and it is a coffee-based drink. It combines the delectable Amarula cream liqueur, brewed coffee, hazelnuts that have been chopped to perfection, Frangelico and whipped cream, which serves as a topping. African Peanut Soup is another famous beverage found here, which combines vegetable oil, cayenne, garlic, cloves, tomato paste, chicken broth and creamy type of peanut butter.



 
Matrecension: Chakula

ChakulaUrbanlife har testat en ny liten goding på Stockholms restaurangkarta. Mitt i vinteryran hamnade vi på Pontonjärsgatan, Kungsholmen, där vi besökte en afrikansk matgömma.

Restaurang Chakula, som betyder "mat" på swahili, ger med sin lite avlägsna placering från gatan skenet av att vara en enkel prestigelös kvarterskrog. Men när vi öppnar dörrarna till den lilla lokalen med en härlig interiör i mörkt trä där väggarna har en stark röd terrakottafärg och pryds med afrikanska masker, och där inte bara personalen utan även gästerna hälsar när vi går in, får vi en känsla av att första intrycket kan bedra.
