🌿🇸🇱 LUMLEY MARKET ON A SUNDAY FREETOWN, SIERRA LEONE! 🇸🇱🌿
I’ve been gone for a minute, but I’m BACK HOME! ❤️🇸🇱
For the past 12 days, I’ve been in Freetown working as a private chef for the Italian team at the African Diaspora Fashion Hub, in collaboration with Gambian Fashion Week cooking for Laioung , an exceptionally gifted artist, and , a Gambian fashion designer ( they are both based in Italy.🇮🇹 )
My mission in the kitchen? 👩🏾🍳✨ Preparing delicious Afro-vegan meals for Laïoung, while creating other delicious dishes for Yulti Official. Different tastes, different needs, but always the same passion, creativity and love for food! ❤️🍽️
On Sunday, I headed to Lumley Market in search of fresh calaloo — our beloved Sierra Leonean greens! 🥬🌱 Fresh ingredients are at the heart of my cooking, bringing African flavours and heritage straight to the plate.
The sights, the sounds, the energy of the market… even on a Sunday, there’s a story to tell! Normally, Lumley Market is buzzing with even more life, colour and noise.
🔥 PART 2 COMING SOON: Lumley Market on a regular day now THAT’S a whole different vibe!
Nothing beats being back home, connecting with our ingredients, our culture and our people through food. 🇸🇱❤️
