Culinary anthropologist and creator of the Kitchen Butterfly website Ozoz Sokoh has published her first cookbook, CHOP CHOP, released in the U.S. by Artisan and in Canada by Appetite, an imprint of Random House Canada. A Warri native and Ontario resident, Sokoh has put together a colorful compendium celebrating classic Nigerian cuisine from all six of the country’s primary regions. She recently discussed this rich diversity on an episode of WNYC’s “The Splendid Table” while earning praise from the Los Angeles Times (“Pages devoted to plantains, grilled meats, leaf wraps, steamed puddings and Nigerian breakfasts are interspersed with historical and cultural context for deeper understanding beyond a delicious meal”) and the Toronto Star (“Both a cookbook and culinary textbook — crafted by a lifelong home cook tracing the roots and stories behind the dishes she makes”), among others.
