#19 Côte d’Ivoire – Coastal flavors in Vienna
Welcome back! This week my trip took me to Côte d’Ivoire, a bustling country in West Africa. For Ivorian cuisine, I once again was a bit stumped as to what people eat, where it comes from and what I would like to write more about. Côte d’Ivoire did not exactly make this easy for me.…
