The Gourmet Ballad
of Balabas

But isn’t delicacy a tasteful expression of this love for life? It’s up to you to tell me…after this stroll through gourmet collections, in which Balabas takes you on.

There is probably nothing more universal, or more unifying than gourmet pleasure. It is a conviction that Dy Nesa carries with her every time she cooks small dishes. Because only cooking has this incredible ability to take us to other lands to meet others, without even leaving our table.

Whether it’s Michelin-starred or simply home-cooked, cuisine above all, celebrates authenticity – the kind that comes from the heart and ends up on the plate, the kind that is created in the mind and takes shape on the counter, the kind that hides shyly in the soul and reveals itself at the end of a fork.

So to well-born souls, self-indulgence cannot ever be a flaw.

Dy Nesa wishes you a beautiful ballad!

Khady Sané, who publishes under her pseudonym Dy Nesa, has always been passionate about 2 things: travel and cooking (or maybe it’s self-indulgence?). On every trip she goes on, she sets out to discover culinary treasures, flavors and spices to always better discover the country that welcomes her and immerse herself in its culture.

A true wanderer and citizen of the world, it is through her introspection into her own culinary heritage and her discovery of other gastronomies that she finally dares to open up, through this book.
