Hi, my name is Sharon & I would like to invite you into the world of African plantbased cuisine. Growing up in a Nigerian home, meat was the centerpiece of our meals. From succulent grilled suya to aromatic stews like egusi and jollof rice cooked with tender chicken or beef, our traditional cuisine revolved around the flavours and textures of animal-based ingredients. However, as I embarked on my plant-based journey four years ago, I realized that I didn't have to leave my cultural heritage behind. Instead, I found creative ways to recreate our beloved dishes using plant-based alternatives without compromising on taste, tradition, or nostalgia. You too can discover that embracing a plant-based lifestyle doesn't mean turning your back on your culture or sacrificing the delicious tastes that have been a part of your upbringing. In fact, it is quite the opposite! By infusing traditional Nigerian dishes with a plant-based twist, I have discovered a whole new world of culinary possibilities that are both nourishing and incredibly satisfying. Not only has it positively impacted my health and well-being, but it has also ignited a passion within me to spread the message of the incredible power of plant-based foods. Whether you are new to veganism or simply seeking to explore the incredible diversity of plant-based cuisine, this cookbook is a gateway to delicious, culturally-inspired dishes that will leave you craving more!
