Pierre Thiam
Chef, author, and social activist Pierre Thiam is renowned for bringing West African cuisine to the global fine dining world. He is the executive chef of Nok by Alara in Lagos, Nigeria and Teranga in New York City, and is the signature chef of Pullman Hotel in Dakar, Senegal. His company Yolélé Foods advocates for smallholder farmers in the Sahel by opening new markets for crops grown in Africa.
Born and raised in Dakar, Senegal, Thiam’s cooking style is at once modern and eclectic, rooted in the rich culinary traditions of West Africa. His newest cookbook, The Fonio Cookbook, was published in October 2019. Thiam has cooked for the King of Morocco, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon.
Ethereal Fonio Bowl
Inspired by the traditional Senegalese dish Mbahal, Thiam's Chef in Residence dish is made with fonio, an ancient grain from West Africa that is drought-resistant, gluten-free, and nutrient-rich. Thiam added cashew butter to introduce a delicious creaminess and nuttiness to the dish, which pairs well with the sweetness of the sweet potato and the bitterness of the broccolini. Cayenne pepper builds the heat, and balances with the fruity acidity from the tamarind, infusing each delicious bite of the Ethereal Fonio Bowl with exquisite plant wisdom.
