Tradition is an aesthetic in modern cooking. My ancestral tree has its roots in West Africa, where the indigenous cuisine’s pairing of savory items with sweet is as ancient as the continent itself. From simple dishes of toast and honey or sweet potatoes with bitter greens, sweet and savory have long been the hallmark of traditional coastal African cooking.

Note

If watercress is unavailable, arugula or curly mustard greens can be substituted.
