    Recipes from the 'Great red island'
    The Zoological Society of London is selling Malagasy recipes at London Zoo and Whipsnade Wild Animal Park. For approximately €1, visitors can buy 13 recipes for traditional Malagasy dishes.


    Food in Madagascar is wonderful. In markets throughout the island you see spices, herbs and fresh produce including vanilla, ginger, mango, avocado, tomatoes, zebu steak and -straight from the coast- seafood of all kinds. But you also see lots and lots of rice - it's the staple of the Malagasy diet and eaten for breakfast, lunch and evening meals.


    Madagascar was once a colony of France and that means that this abundance of local goods is given a French twist in cooking. Want to prepare a mouth-watering Malagasy meal in your home? And help fund conservation projects on Madagascar? Here are some easy recipes to try. A taste of the French-influenced tropics!

    The ZSL Malagasy recipe book can be downloaded here (pdf).
