Chef/Restaurateur/Author Pierre Thiam takes us on a culinary journey to his native Senegal, whose cuisine is rich in traditions and big bold flavors. His beautiful book, "Senegal: Modern Senegalese Recipes from the Source to the Bowl," offers popular Senegalese dishes, including ingredients to stock your pantry and where to source. We discuss Senegalese super fruits, ancient grains and red palm oil, one pot cooking, slow roasting, and fermenting and Senegal's concept of "Teranga" (hospitality).
