In her takeover, Sudanese and Sydney-based foodie Mariia shared with us her recipe for Kuindiong, a traditional dessert prepared by the Dinka people of South Sudan. Served with a few spoonsful of miok, a crumble-like topping made from butter and sugar, this dish is a sweet introduction to Sudanese cuisine.
