Hello Alice,
It's fantastic to hear about your interest in Senegalese cuisine! Los Angeles has a vibrant food scene, and there are several cooking classes you can explore. Here are a few recommendations:

• Cooking with Ali: Offers hands-on classes focusing on traditional Senegalese dishes like Yassa and Thieboudienne.
• Senegalese Flavors: This class dives deep into the spices and techniques unique to Senegal, including a market tour.
• Cultural Kitchen: A community-focused space that hosts classes with local chefs specializing in African cuisines.

In addition, for those who enjoy cooking shows, I recommend checking out professional IPTV streaming services. They often have channels dedicated to international cuisine, including Senegalese cooking. You can find one such service at iptvparaguay.shop. It's a great way to get inspired and learn new recipes from the comfort of your home. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I’ve always wanted to try making a traditional Senegalese dish at home. Does anyone have a simple recipe to start with? I love cooking but haven't tried Senegalese food yet.

Hello David,
It’s great to see your enthusiasm! A simple and delicious dish to start with is Yassa Poulet (marinated chicken). Here’s a quick recipe for you:

1. Marinate chicken pieces in lemon juice, onions, mustard, and spices for a few hours.
2. Fry the marinated chicken until golden brown.
3. In the same pan, sauté sliced onions and add back the chicken with the marinade.
4. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with rice.

It’s a flavorful dish that is sure to impress. Enjoy cooking, and feel free to share your results!
