I’m Haitian and I’m so impressed by African cooking! Forget going to France to learn to be a chef! Africa is where real cuisine resides! ❤️❤️❤️

[barandao]

Every time I see Ghanaians and Nigerians arguing over who has the best jollof it makes me laugh! Senegalese cuisine is in another level! Believe me

[تاجالأريام]

I'am Moroccan and I tasted this dish 10 years ago, I still remember it as one of the most delicious cuisine I ate in the world.

[yeadonai]

I am Ethiopian married Senegalese man. I am going to surprise him will cook 👩‍🍳 this dish . Thank you my dear sister.

[jerselicious]

Finally someone giving Senegalese jollof the credit it deserves🙌

[zayinapinkheart]

I am Senegalese and I am happy to see you cooked to perfection our national dish✨. Thank you. 🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳

I just want to say I made this. I did my best but probably lacking. Since I'm American, I know nothing about African food, yet I have always been so intrigued by the ingredients and resources, the beautiful culture and style of the many countries. I want to learn as much as I can and your videos make it much easier to learn the cuisine. It was so tasty, and even my brother said this is the best rice he ever had! I will definitely be using your other recipes from now on since they are organized very well and clear to understand and follow. I'm so glad to have found your channel. I think I might try making signature dishes from every country in Africa that would be so exciting! Thanks for these beautiful recipes and keep on cooking ;)

I'm Nigerian but when I first tasted this Benechin I had a new favorite 😍 I even flew to Senegal 🇸🇳 and Gambia 🇬🇲 and had this dish. I can say it was the best meal I've ever had. You've given me courage to try and make this dish.

[MansaQueen]

Thanks for sharing this! I am from The Gambia and we senegambians love our thiebu jenn! Much love. Just started my channel and hoping to grow

[DejiDigital]

Forget Ghana and Nigeria... Senegalese jollof rice has won.

[nike]

I'm Nigerian, but Senegalese jollof rice wins hands down

[biggyngwenya]

I'm Zimbabwean 🇿🇼🇿🇼 and I must say I'm totally impressed by this recipe. Looks so scrumptious. I'm going to have to move to Senegal and marry Senegalese lady so we can cook this together!

[fatimakane]

Senegalese here! Wow. Simply amazing! My heart jumped out ... I am still looking for it! Your thiep is delicious. I like that you did not skimp on the veggies and fish. Grouper is one of the top 2 most "noble" fish that we use to make this dish. Again. Congrats and may your channel stay blessed! Merci beaucoup, sister!

A born Senegalese and live in Dakar, Senegal nearly my whole live. Came to the UK when I was 25 years old and have been living just for 10 years but, this is better than all the jolof rice cooking I ever watc in
YouTube.

[sylviegracefavor]

Bravo, I grew up in Dakar Sénégal. I spent 16 years there. What I can tell is that you nailed it. You did it correctly. That's special ingredient is called"Yet". It stinks🙂 but that the one who brings the favor.
Encore merci pour cette recette. Bravo

[agnezabarutanski]

I'm slowly starting to appreciate the enormous culinary wealth of the sub-Saharan Africa. I think Europe is still clueless when it comes to African food, which is a crime against palate, because Nigerian, Malian, Senegalese, Ghanian and Ethiopian dishes look heavenly! Can't wait to start experimenting with African recipies and ingredients, mere glance at those colors makes me salivate like a hungry hound!
Love from Croatia!

[chickflik]

I am Ghanaian and I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am to see you cook non-Ghanaian dish. Most of the time, my people don't like to explore and you nailed this dish...Looks amazing and you did it to perfection. Bravo Nana

[Dawton]

I have been making your recipes since I discovered you a few months ago. You have quite literally changed my life. I felt so depressed and cooking your recipes help me so much. I love, love love everything I’ve made. I cannot thank you enough helping me to experience West African food. I get emotional. You are a truly wonderful and special person. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Xoxo 😭

[fatoug.]

Senegalese 🇸🇳 here and so impressed with how you cooked our national dish 🥰. Not everyone can get that perfect color, trust me. And just love how excited you are when you talk about the dish!

[ROSAMO]

Give this Lady a senegalese citizenship asap 😂🇸🇳🇸🇳 you just nailed it !
