Na nga def (How are you)?! For my birthday in 2023, my brother and I celebrated in Senegal! It was a trip full of culture, connection, flavor, sibling antics, and a few Wolof words! Learning to make Thieboudienne from the amazing Aïta (@gueun_bii) was one of the most rewarding and unforgettable highlights of our journey! She opened her home to my brother and I, and it’s an experience I’ll never forget. Here is the recipe written down based on the way she taught me to make it. I tried to add the Wolof word for each ingredient. If it is incorrect, please correct me in the comments! Jërëjëf (Thank you)!
