From the Journal

Recipes, ingredients and news

Read the Journal
Thieboudienne vs Jollof Rice: The Original and Its Cousins, from the Tonton Jeb Journal
Thieboudienne vs Jollof Rice: The Original and Its Cousins A warm comparison article: shared history (ceebu jen from Saint-Louis, Senegal, and how jollof travelled across West Africa), then a side-by-side of the rice (broken vs long grain), the base (fish and vegetables vs tomato and meat), the cooking method (one pot, rice finished in the broth), the flavor, and when each is served. Respectful of Nigerian and Ghanaian jollof, not a rivalry piece. Closes with 'What you need to make thieboudienne at home' featuring Tonton Jeb Senegalese Local Rice, Tamarind and Chilli Salt, and a link to the weeknight thieboudienne article.
Poulet Yassa: Senegalese Lemon-Onion Chicken, Step by Step, from the Tonton Jeb Journal
Poulet Yassa: Senegalese Lemon-Onion Chicken, Step by Step A single step-by-step yassa recipe: a short intro on Casamance origin and the long-marinated onions with lemon and mustard, an ingredient list with US substitutions, a numbered method, how to serve it over Senegalese local rice, a make-ahead tip, and links to the thieboudienne and mafé Sunday dishes.
The Four Senegalese Market Drinks: Bissap, Bouye, Ginger and Café Touba, from the Tonton Jeb Journal
The Four Senegalese Market Drinks: Bissap, Bouye, Ginger and Café Touba A plain, warm roundup of the four drinks that define a Senegalese market run. Four parallel H2 sections - Bissap, Bouye, Ginger, Café Touba - each covering what it is, what it tastes like, how it is served in Dakar (hot or cold, time of day), and the simplest at-home method using a Tonton Jeb product, with natural links to the product pages and the existing bissap and Café Touba articles. Closes with a short 'which one to try first' section steering readers by taste and moment.
