About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Ozoz Sokoh will lead us on a virtual journey through Nigerian cookery based on her new cookbook Chop Chop - Cooking the Food of Nigeria. In Nigeria, the word “chop” is all about food and feasting and “chop chop” is a nickname given to someone who loves to eat. The book 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.

We will also explore the influence of West African diaspora on Canadian cuisine.

Ozoz Sokoh is a Nigerian food writer and educator. She began documenting her food journey online in 2009. Central to her work is connectedness through food, food sovereignty, cultural identity, reclamation of food systems, and the joy of eating. Her research and documentation explore the roots of Nigerian and West African cuisine and the impact of West African intellectual contributions to global development. She is a professor of Food and Tourism Studies at Centennial College in Toronto. Find her online @KitchenButterfly.
