Every box opens a door — to a country, a cook, a story you didn't know you needed.
We build relationships with cooperatives and small producers across the continent — not transactions.
Every dish carries a story. We make sure that story makes it to your table, intact.
I grew up between Lagos and London, with two pantries and two ways of seasoning a pot of rice. The African Cart is the bridge I always wished existed — a way for anyone, anywhere, to taste a meal that someone's grandmother would recognise.
We work with cooks across the continent — sourcing spices in cooperatives, recording recipes in family kitchens, capturing the cultural details a packet on a supermarket shelf could never hold. Every box you open carries those hands.
We work with farmers and cooperatives across 12 countries.
Spices are roasted and milled in small batches in our kitchen.
We record the recipes and stories with the people who live them.
Boxes are packed by hand and shipped carbon-offset, worldwide.
Pick your country, open the box, and let dinner take you somewhere new.
