Angola in Pink Sauce






The idea of this blog stems from the desire to convey salient aspects of the national culture by relating the gastronomy and the strong coinage by women that characterize the pavilion and the Angolan society. Hence the name “Angola in pink sauce”.
We talk about cuisine by introducing recipes and dishes. Guided by the two chefs of the pavilion we find out about ingredients. Chef Kitaba will reveal us the secrets of traditional food, while Chef Elsa Viana remodels dishes for a European and international taste.
Starting from the kitchen, we discover Angola also through its music, art and tourism.
We explore the different musical styles, talk about dancing, and show you the steps of the most popular dances. We also present you the most famous artists of the national and international scene.
Departing from our contemporary art exhibitions in the pavilion, we dive into the artistic scene of Angola and dabble into the design and fashion world.
The aim of the blog is to reveal some of the marvels of the Angolan landscape, make them known to a public outside the country and propose touristic cues for journeys.
We wish to “narrate” Angola by the stories of those who are close to the country, giving priority to women – in accordance to the importance they have in our Pavilion and really also in Angolan Society.
