CHERREH: A TRADITIONAL STAPLE OF THE GAMBIA'S CUISINE

In The Gambia, Cherreh is a beloved dish, representing the best of Gambian food traditions. Traditionally made with coos or maize (or a mix of both), Cherreh is often served with local sauces like Mbum, a moringa-based leafy green soup, or Basseh, a peanut butter-thickened sauce often mixed with beans or peanuts. It’s typically paired with chicken, fish, or beef, making it a well-rounded, nutritious meal.

Today, Cherreh is a popular dinner option, commonly enjoyed with milk for a lighter meal or with Basseh and Mboom for a heartier dish.

Beyond its delicious flavors, Cherreh holds cultural significance in The Gambia. It’s shared during family gatherings, weddings, and celebrations, fostering a sense of community and unity. Traditionally made in rural areas, it’s also enjoyed in urban homes, symbolizing the country’s rich culinary identity.

The ingredients used in Cherreh are locally grown, supporting Gambian farmers and contributing to the economy. Its preparation and enjoyment offer a deep connection to the traditions and stories passed down through generations.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, tasting Cherreh is a must for experiencing the essence of Gambian cuisine.

EXPLORE THE ART OF TIE & DYE IN THE GAMBIA

Tie & dye is more than just a fabric technique; it’s a vibrant tradition passed down through generations in The Gambia. Long before synthetic dyes were introduced, artisans used natural elements like onion skins, cola nuts, and mahogany bark to create stunning, colorful fabrics. Each piece tells the story of Gambian culture and craftsmanship.

When you embrace tie & dye, you’re not only taking home a unique, handcrafted piece of art but also helping preserve an ancient craft. The process of tying and dyeing results in one-of-a-kind textiles that embody the creativity and heritage of The Gambia.

Want to learn this beautiful technique? Connect with local artisans through My Gambia and discover how they are keeping these traditions alive. For more details, contact [email protected] or call +220 214 0000 / +220 791 2618.

REVISITING THE JOURNEY OF MRS. SHERIF, CO-FOUNDER OF THE GAMBIA'S LARGEST AESTHETIC HOUSE AND WELLNESS CENTER

Back in December, we had the privilege of sitting down with Mrs. Sherif, the co-founder of Mirrored GM, The Gambia's largest Aesthetic House and Wellness Center. After relocating from America, she has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the beauty industry in The Gambia, introducing cutting-edge technology, premium products, and exceptional services. Her unwavering dedication and passion have redefined the local wellness landscape.

In January, we published this interview, and as we revisit her story now, we are reminded of the remarkable journey that Mrs. Sherif has taken, one marked by vision, resilience, and the courage to make a lasting impact. This interview not only highlights her success in business but also her personal journey of overcoming challenges, innovating within the industry, and shaping a future for wellness in The Gambia.
