Memory Foods

Everything I know about cooking comes from the women who raised me. I am Sierra Leonean and Ivorian, and that lineage shapes how I approach food.

Nothing was written down. I learned by watching, helping, and tasting as I went. Recipes lived in memory, passed hand to hand.

The recipes I share here come from that foundation, but they aren’t rigid or limited to one dish or one style. I cook by feel, experimenting and adjusting as I go.

These are the dishes I return to, and the ones I hope you do too.
