“I hope to stimulate your senses and open your minds as each page turns. To take you over proud lion mountains, and to disclose the hearts and histories of a nation's people. I hope to take you to Sierra Leone.”
ABOUT SWEET SALONE
Discover the bold, vibrant flavours of Sierra Leone through Sweet Salone, Maria Bradford’s debut cookbook.
As a small country on the west coast of Africa, Sierra Leone has, throughout its history, always embraced diversity – and this willingness to discover and grow has shaped its rich food culture. Forged by its history, people, and place, the cuisine is utterly unique.
INSPIRED RECIPES
