In the early 19th century, when groups of African Americans immigrated to the shores of West Africa seeking respite from oppression, they brought along their rich “soul food” recipes, which they incorporated into the culinary traditions of the West African tribes they encountered. The result is Liberian food, a combustible array of richly seasoned stews, soups, pastries and sweets that will excite your taste buds and leave you with a “finger-licking” experience.
This unique blending of a variety of recipes combining the culinary traditions of people of African descent with their diverse historical experiences is what makes Liberian cuisine truly Africa’s soul food.
LIBFOOD was founded to share this finger-licking experience with you in the comfort of your home. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, LIBFOOD is an innovative gourmet mail order food company that delivers to all 50 States.
In Liberia, it is impolite to ask your guests: “Would you like to eat?” Instead, people say: “Come let’s eat.” Therefore, in the spirit of that hospitality, we also invite you to come and eat with us to experience Africa’s soul food.
