  • About

Tigray’s cuisine has three essential recipes that form the building blocks for most dishes: injera (fermented flatbread), tesmi (spiced butter) and berbere or dilik (powdered chilli mix or paste).

The development of the cuisine has been influenced by faith and availability. Ninety-five per cent of Tegaru are Orthodox Christians: as part of this we practise Lent and other fasting periods, eating exclusively vegan meals 180–210 days of the year, which has meant we’ve developed extensive vegan offerings.
