About
An introduction to traditional and modern Nigerian home cooking featuring 100 delicious recipes by food explorer, culinary anthropologist, and Nigerian Native of @kitchenbutterfly fame, Ozoz Sokoh.
In Nigeria, the word "chop" is all about food and feasting and "chop chop" is a nickname for someone who loves to eat. It's no surprise Nigeria has an entire vernacular dedicated to eating. With more than 50 nationally recognized languages and 250 ethnicities, Nigeria offers food that is as rich and diverse as its people. Despite the foodway's incredibly flavorful complexity, its recipes have never been gathered in one place. Until now.
In “Chop Chop”, author, culinary anthropologist, and Nigerian native Ozoz Sokoh celebrates classic and traditional Nigerian cuisine to underscore the ingredients, flavors, and textures that make it not only beloved, but delicious and easy for the home cook. Featuring:
• A Collection of Classic and Modern Nigerian Recipes: Think smoky spicy beef suya skewers, egusi stew with wild greens, restorative pepper soup, jollof rice studded with tomatoes, soft puff puff dough bites, and sweet-tart hibiscus drinks, and more from across the country.
• Lexicon of Nigerian Cuisine: Learn how to shop and cook like a Nigerian as well as the ingredients integral to Nigerian cuisine and how they come together in the form of hearty soups and stews, steamed puddings, salads, rice dishes, fritters, and more.
• Illuminating Cultural and Historical Explorations: With headnotes and sidebars that give important cultural and historical context, including how global events left their mark on Nigerian cuisine, you will learn the deep roots behind each dish.
• Stunning Photography: With gorgeous photos from Nigeria's landscapes, food markets, and people, as well as beautiful photography of ingredients and finished dishes, “Chop Chop” is a cookbook to behold.
