Zom

Meet Zom, a deeply savoury herb stew that sits at the heart of Cameroonian home cooking. Tender pieces of meat simmer slowly in palm oil with garlic, chillies and a generous handful of fresh green herbs until the whole pot smells of celebration. It is the sort of dish that appears at family gatherings and feast days, yet it is simple enough to make on an ordinary evening. Serve it steaming hot with rice or cassava and you have a proper taste of Central Africa.

Zuurvlees

Few dishes capture the layered character of Surinamese cooking quite like Zuurvlees. Tender beef is simmered for hours in a sharp, sweet-sour braise scented with bay leaves and allspice, until the meat falls apart at the touch of a fork. It is a recipe built on patience rather than complication, and it rewards you with deep, glossy flavour. Served with rice or fried plantain, it turns an ordinary evening into something worth lingering over.
