Maria Bradford: Sweet Salone

This week, Gilly is with Maria Bradford, author of Sweet
Salone, the first book to tell the story of the food from her
homeland of Sierra Leone. 


Maria came to the UK as a student and grew up with her guardian
in a village in Kent, far from the colourful food culture
spreading through London’s West African communities. But it was
her sense of being different that has led to her becoming the
word on Sierra Leonian food. Here she goes back to find the food
that it took a lifetime to realise was such a big part of her
sense of self.
