Nigeria-lovers in Nigeria 

we understand what it is like to crave that special dish that your grandmother used to make.  Growing up, you would always count down to the next trip to grandma’s house, but you were sure to enjoy that dish – it was the right level of spiciness, it was the right flavor, just greasy enough, no calorie-counting allowed, you could eat and lick your fingers afterwards!

we have been there and we miss grandma’s cooking too, which is why we have spoken with loads and loads of grandmas to bring you the most original and authentic recipes that take you waaay back.  We hope you enjoy exploring these dishes – both new and old and creating new memories for your children and grand-children.

Nigeria-lovers outside Nigeria

you have eaten cold sandwiches with asparagus and tuna for the last three days. You’re tired of yoghurt and granola.  Chinese fast food with greasy chicken and fake crab meat does not cut it anymore.  Pizza, pizza, no more pizza! you just want a bowl of hot steaming egusi soup with cowleg, goat meat, stock fish and peppered snails. Combined with soft, smooth pounded yam with cold gulder or chapman on ice to wash it down.

we feel you.  We have provided a variety of Nigerian recipes and included alternative ingredients for items that you may easily find outside the Nigerian shores.  We know you miss home and we want to help ease the pain as much as possible.  We hope we are able to bring a touch of home through our authentic recipes.

Note: if you have any favorite recipes or you are willing to break the family code and share your secret recipes with us, we will love to have them and we will make sure you’re properly credited.  Please send them our way!
