Team Bangladesh

In the capital of Bangladesh, passionate cook Sameera Hussain Wadood meets passionate illustrator Sayeef Mahmud. Together they shop at night in Dhaka's oldest and largest market – Kawran Bazar. Then, at the hip Café Mango, Sameera cooks an old family recipe: Loitta Fish Fry with steamed sticky rice. By the way, this is the first time she publishes a recipe. Have fun cooking it!
