Bringing The World Together Through Food
With Marianne Tshihamba
My team at the Gates Foundation has been looking for ways to reconnect after months of working from home. Marianne suggested that we cook a dish from Africa, as a way of connecting with the cultures where we work even when we could not travel. Marianne selected a Congolese chicken dish, and sent us instructions and ingredients lists. The class was a lot of fun and Marianne is so outgoing and warm. We all had a great time and learned about the food and culture. Thank you!

These yams are both gorgeous and delicious! They are sweeter and more dense than regular sweet potatoes. Roast them in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until your can pierce them with a fork. Peel them, scoop out the flesh and mash with a fork. I add a little salt and sprinkle with sesame seeds. You can also top them with melted butter or sesame oil. Enjoy!
