The Secrets of Ethiopian Cooking The essence of Ethiopian cooking lies in the spices that vary from the fiery potent to the most delicate. Exotic spices and fresh herbs are cleverly combined and create the flavors that make food a delight in Ethiopia. Even more remarkable is the whole procession of vegetarian specialties, both familiar and unique. We, at Café Colucci use the best imported organic, sun dried and traditionally seasoned herbs and spices. Our scintillating entrees are cooked to order to ensure freshness. We use the best cut of meat, fresh legumes and vegetables. We serve the most refined of all breads, Teff Injera made of finely ground imported Teff flour indigenous to only Ethiopia.
