Food has always been more than just sustenance - it’s a bridge between generations, a keeper of memories, and a celebration of identity. In this cookbook, I invite you to join me on a journey that spans the shores of Senegal and Cape Verde, two lands rich with history, culture, and a shared love for the kitchen as the heart of the home.
As someone rooted in both Senegalese and Cape Verdean heritage, I’ve grown up immersed in the aromas, flavors, and rhythms of these two distinct yet deeply connected cultures. Senegal, the Land of Terraanga, taught me that hospitality begins with a shared meal - where the bowl is the symbol of unity and dishes are layered with bold spices, vibrant colors, and the deep traditions of West Africa. In Senegal, Terraanga embodies a sense of community, generosity, and kindness toward others, especially guests. It’s about creating a space of warmth and inclusion, where visitors and strangers are treated like family. This value is not just a social custom; it is a core part of Senegalese identity and pride. Cape Verde also has a rich history from its role as a crossroads of trade and migration.
