Senegal: Authentic Senegalese Recipes

Senegal will take you on a deep dive into the country's rich and multifaceted cuisine. Inspired by the depth of Senegalese cooking and the many people he's met on his culinary journey, Pierre Thiam presents his own creative and modern takes on traditional dishes in this book. You'll feel the sun at your back and the cool breeze off the Atlantic, hear the sizzle of freshly caught fish hitting the grill, and bask in the tropical palm forests of Casamance.

Learn to cook the vibrant and diverse food of Senegal, such as soulful stews full of meat falling off the bone, healthy ancient grains and dark leafy greens with superfood properties, fresh seafood grilled over open flame and served with salsas singing of bright citrus and fiery peppers, and lots of fresh vegetables and salads bursting with West African flavors.

Pierre's first book, Yolele!, introduced Senegalese food to the world, and now Senegal takes a deeper dive, showcasing the ingredients and techniques elemental to Senegalese cooking, the food producers at the heart of its survival, and the unique cultural and historical context it exists in. You'll meet local farmers, fishermen, humble food producers, and home cooks, each with stories to tell and recipes to share and savor.

This is the food of Senegal, from the source to the bowl. You won't just be learning to make a few dishes, you'll learn about the Senegalese people, the stories of their past, and importantly, the issues they face today and tomorrow. Senegal will transport you deep into the country's rich, multifaceted cuisine, where you'll feel the sun, hear the sizzle, and bask in the tropical palm forests.
