Cooking the Most Authentic Food with Locals in Senegal 🇸🇳
Рет қаралды 12,508
Күн бұрынToday I’m cooking the most authentic food in Senegal with locals, on a remote island in the middle of Senegal’s sprawling Sine Saloum Delta. On today's menu is Yassa, one of Senegal's most famous dishes, made with fish caught locally in the delta.
This travel vlog follows me on my journey into the heart of Senegal in order to learn how to cook with the Serer ethnic group, one of Senegal’s major ethnic groups. Serers are found in 3 countries in West Africa and are predominantly located in Senegal, particularly in the Sine Saloum region. I'm excited to discover more about their way of life.

wow. this is the third video about Senegal I have watched; they are great, informative and addictive. I started watching these videos because sometime in the future I might leave the UK to live in Senegal instead of my narrative country, Guinea-Conakry, part of the Fulani people. thanks

Hello again Ella. I am very happy to see your videos again. Spectacular as always, getting better. After that cooking lesson you can now introduce yourself to "Master Chef UK". Surely with this recipe you can succeed. Of course, you will have to practice before using knives and other kitchen utensils well. When you return to Tenerife, I will also teach you how to cook some typical things from the island. And if you want you will also learn to make paella (for that you have to cut a lot of onions and peppers) 😂😂😂😂. In your video you not only transmit with your words the good people you have met, but also with the images. I wish everyone (anywhere in the world) were the same. We would live in a fantastic world. A big kiss for you and a big hug for your fiance (or perhaps already husband).

It is wonderful to hear from you again, Ignacio! Haha, I will indeed have to learn to better use the knife 🤪 Oh, yes - I would love to learn how to cook paella. I do love a good paella! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are still fiances right now. I hope to organise the wedding soon but life has been so busy it has been postponed!

@@EllaMcKendrick trust me, i was also bad at holding the knife but then i tried to be confident and less scared of the knifes and now I'm quite decent in cutting onions and tomatoes but not better than my mother... She's pro in it tho😬🤯 And yeah the food was tasty and i wanted to have some of it too .. If you ever visit India then do cook for me... I know the possibility is 0.00001% for that to happen.

Thank you for sharing the experience in Senegal! I am traveling there in a week. May I ask if I need to bring any documents in order to bring and fly a small drone in Senegal ?
@EllaMcKendrick Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! I'm really excited for you. Which part of Senegal will you be visiting? With the drone, it was actually really hard to find information online for what to do. Websites give conflicting information with some saying they are banned and others saying no permission is required as long as you fly sensibly. After reading countless websites I decided to just bring it and flew it safely in remote areas (safely away from big towns / cities and people) in line with standard drone laws. I also have insurance for my drone. I personally didn't encounter any issues. This is the website I used for information: uavsystemsinternational.com/pages/senegal-drone-laws However I'd recommend you take a look online and come to your own conclusions as I wouldn't want to misadvise you. This website looks like it has the most recent update on it, updated only a few months ago: drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-senegal/ (although the links to the official websites don't work!)
