Authors@Google: Pierre Thaim

The Authors@Google program welcomed chef and author Pierre Thaim to Google's NY office to dicuss his book, "Yolele! Recipes from the Heart of Senegal".

"Chef Pierre discusses his book and travels, which introduce new taste sensations, exotic spins on rice and other familiar ingredients, and foods indigenous to Senegal,
such as fonio, an ancient, tiny-seeded whole grain that has been one of the mainstays of Senegalese cuisine. Bursting with delicious taste and extraordinarily healthy, fonio is likely become a major player in home kitchens and top restaurants in the years ahead.
Senegalese cuisine is a sonorous synthesis of native African, French, Portuguese, Creole, and Vietnamese cuisines."

This event took place on January 21, 2009.
