In this interactive cooking class, Marianne Tshihamba serves up dishes inspired by her travels. Thiebou Dienn (pronounced CHEB-oo jen) or Cheb, is Senegal’s national dish, whose cuisine is finally being recognized as one of the best in the world. With its rich, spicy, tomato-based rice and seafood combination, it’s like paella on steroids! Take your taste buds on a tour of Senegal and experience an authentic version of an iconic dish.
