At Serhs Food, we continue to promote our gastronomic days with an objective that goes beyond the kitchen: to showcase the cultural diversity of our team and turn it into a shared experience. In this spirit, we recently held the “Senegambia” day at Mataró Hospital, a special event merging the gastronomy of Senegal and Gambia—the home countries of several kitchen professionals on our team.
The initiative was born from the desire of these workers to share the most representative flavors of their homeland with colleagues and users. West African gastronomy is rich in aromas, spices, and traditional recipes that tell stories of culture, community, and identity.
A very special menu was prepared for the occasion, inspired by iconic regional dishes. Highlights included Senegalese-style rice with vegetables, lamb vegetable soup, and cassava and peanut salad. Main courses featured beef stew in peanut sauce, marinated chicken with vegetables, and marinated fish. The menu was rounded off with traditional side dishes, typical sweets, and African drinks made from ingredients like hibiscus or baobab fruit.
The day was very well received. Both the flavors of the dishes and the enthusiasm behind them captivated everyone. The Senegalese and Gambian professionals were deeply involved in the preparation and presentation, eager to share a piece of their culture through cooking.
Beyond the food, the cafeteria was themed for the occasion. The staff brought decorative elements from “home,” including traditional clothing and cultural objects. This created a festive and authentic atmosphere that conveyed a clear message: in these cultures, food represents community, celebration, and identity.
These initiatives are part of Serhs Food’s commitment to humanizing the brand and valuing the people behind the project. These gastronomic days are not just a culinary experience, but a space for sharing, participation, and recognizing the cultural wealth that each team member provides.
