Very encompassing of Nigerian food culture. This is as much a book about the food of Nigeria as it is about recipes. And I will admit that I was very surprised by how much Nigerian cooking has been influenced by other countries, but you can definitely see those influences in a number of the recipes. For example imoyo eleja (fish escabeche with salsa). Yes please! That's on my list of some of the first recipes I want to try.
Beautiful color photos, delicious sounding recipes, and a journey through Nigeria's rich food history make this a fabulous book for anyone interested in cooking, or learning more about, Nigerian cuisine.
Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released March 18, 2025.
