Frequently asked questions.
A few notes on how we tell, document, and share Congolese cuisine.
Are recipes the same across the whole DRC?
No. The same dish changes with the region, the season, the market, and household habits. Mpichi presents one way among others and notes its regional roots when known.
How are the recipes documented?
We cross transmitted practices, available sources, and regional context. Quantities are made readable without erasing the gesture, experience, and adaptation of each kitchen.
Can I suggest a recipe or a correction?
Yes. Variants, linguistic notes, and stories of transmission are welcome. You can contact Likeur through the link in the footer.
Are difficulty levels absolute?
They are indicative. They consider the number of gestures, preparation time, and how commonly ingredients are available.
How are the images chosen?
Photographs document a dish, an ingredient, or a gesture. Their author and license are listed on the relevant pages.
Does Mpichi give medical or nutritional advice?
No. The content is culinary and cultural. For allergies, specific diets, or health questions, consult a qualified professional.
