About
Have you heard about the competition between Nigerian Jollof Rice and all the others? It is a fun competition between Nigerians and our brothers and sisters in other parts of Africa over who makes the best Jollof Rice.
We will not tell you what day our excellent cook will be showing you how Jollof is made. Participate in all three cooking experiences to see how Naija Jollof is made.
Just kidding! On each cooking experience day, you will learn how to make a Nigerian yummy staple dish by a fabulous Nigerian cook.
