Having witnessed the consequences of mass industrialisation, the UK is increasingly looking to nations with more sustainable food systems for inspiration.
One such country is Sierra Leone, whose rich culinary heritage is beginning to make its presence felt on the British food scene.
Chef Maria Bradford—founder of Shwen Shwen by Maria, a restaurant that celebrates the bold, vibrant flavours of Sierra Leone in the heart of Sevenoaks, and author of Sweet Salone—joins us in the Food & Drink Studio to explore this timely subject.
Through a specially crafted three-course meal, guests will experience first-hand what the West can learn from West African cuisine.
Menu likely to include:
- Starter: Fish huntu in lemongrass soup
- Main: Sweet potato leaves, fermented sesame seeds, goat meat and rice
- Dessert: Grains of Selim ice cream affogato
- Petit fours: Chocolate truffle, smoked whisky and Grains of Paradise
