Submission checklist

Help us preserve the story, not just the steps.

Add exact ingredient amounts when possible so the recipe is easier to test and publish.
Tell us when the dish is usually served: celebrations, weekends, family gatherings, or everyday meals.
Include regional variations or substitutions if your household cooks it differently.

Review flow

We check the country, region, dish name, and serving context.
Ingredients are normalized into quantities, units, pantry notes, and substitutions.
Steps are edited for timing, texture cues, and realistic kitchen flow.
Image slots are assigned for hero, serving, ingredient, process, and table photos.
The recipe is generated into the static AfroKitchen archive after review.

If you only know the recipe informally, that is still useful. Share what you know and we can help shape it into a publishable entry.
