    Crossover - Africa in my kitchen - Cape Verde - Cachupa

    Hi its your host Yemi, the Overlooked podcast is still on a break from season 1.  I am taking some time to rest, relax and recharge for 2021.  

    As you may already know, the Overlooked podcast is produced by Tunuka Media. The same production studio at produces the well-loved podcast Africa in my kitchen.  Seeing as the holiday season is about to go into full swing, I thought it would be great to just highlight Africa in my kitchen while we wait for the Overlooked podcast to come back on early in 2021. 

    To get you started, I have selected one of my favorite episodes with one of the meals I have love, love, loved. It was on Cachupa from Cape Verde. 

    Once again, here’s the very best of the season! 

    Stay safe out there people and enjoy one of my favorite episodes of Africa in my kitchen.
