What the creator captured

Mark Wiens visited St. Louis, Senegal, to experience the authentic origins of jollof rice, known locally as Thieboudienne. He was deeply impressed by the complex, multi-step cooking process involving local fish, hibiscus leaves, and a rich tomato-infused stock. Mark described the final communal meal as the 'ultimate comfort food' and a truly special experience at the dish's birthplace.
