The Central African cuisine is a very special and exotic cuisine that has been isolated from the outside influences for a very long time. The cooking techniques have also been the same for centuries. During the last centuries, though, the Central African cuisine has started to interact with other cuisines as people have started to move more freely on the continent and not only. Before, only through the slave exchange did any cooking influences manage to enter this cuisine. Today, the Central African cooking methods are pretty much similar to any cuisine’s cooking techniques. One of the most used techniques in the Central African cuisine is boiling. Usually the sauces they use to garnish their food are prepared through boiling. They also marinate their meat a lot. In Central Africa it is quite essential to marinate the meat which is usually tougher than the usual. Another cooking preparation method that is very popular in Central Africa is deep-frying. The most popular Central African dish prepared through this technique is the fish turnover. People here also use to dry their meat in order to preserve it for longer periods of time without having to refrigerate or freeze it. Steaming is another very popular way to cook both meats and vegetables.
