Wow!! that is a hard one!! Plus it depends on if you are good at cooking and what type of area you are in.. visit www.congocookbook.com to get african recipes but you would still need practice..Easy recipes would be some Kaboobs - that is middle eastern food and very simple. You can bring kaboobs, pita bread and flavored hummus. You can often find those items at any market...Arabic culture is highly influenced in Africa so the meals can represent both africa and the middle east
