(L-R) Filipina Vicente, Beatrice Alatishe and Beatrice Igba travelled all the way from Canberra to sell their homemade African sweets and treats at the Sydney African Festival held in Hyde Park on Sunday November 11.
The ladies get together regularly and make their African pastries and biscuits for markets and parties. They were also selling African teas and coffee on the day.
Beatrice Alatishe said that one of the most popular treats sold on at the festival was Chin Chin pastries, a popular sweet sold at roadside stalls and made for celebrations in Nigeria. Akara, fried savoury snacks from Nigeria, were also popular, Beatrice said. Akara is made with a mixture of beans, fresh peppers and onion.
