The Story Behind the
Cookbook
My
ethnicity is one half Nigerian (or Yoruba to be specific) and one half
American. I was born in the US but spent much of my young life in
the African West Coast, in
Nigeria.
All of my life I have enjoyed Nigerian cuisine. While in
Rome many years ago we went to eat at Nigerian family’s home. It
had been many
years since I had tasted of the traditional Yoruba foods and what
a
delight to eat those seasoned greens, okra and a delicious fiery stew,
to name a few dishes, again. I ate heartily!
Although I enjoy the foods from many different cultures Nigerian
cuisine is my comfort food. The food I know and grew up with.
My mother learned to cook the Yoruba cuisine while we lived in Nigeria
and being the true artist (by trade) that she is mastered the flavors
and
still serves these familiar dishes to our extended family today.
My sister has her Nigerian favorites and I have mine but our extended
families
enjoy them all. This cookbook, African Cooking
Yoruba Style,
is the compilation of my mother’s Nigerian recipes along with tidbits
about how she and we enjoyed the foods and cooked them.
Each cook, no matter the cuisine, has their own way of preparing a
dish. These are my mother’s Nigerian recipes. Her way and her style of
preparing the traditional Nigerian dishes. She has cooked these dishes
for dinner parties, family dinners and just small family gatherings.
They are
delicious and nutritious.
