Sokoh will share stories from her highly praised new book Chop Chop: Cooking the Foods of Nigeria, a definitive guide to Nigerian cuisine featuring 100 recipes that honor and preserve the nation’s rich culinary traditions. In the tradition of Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Madhur Jaffrey’s An Invitation to Indian Cooking, Chop Chop offers both a cultural history and a hands-on introduction to the flavors of Nigeria.

The evening’s tasting menu will be prepared by Albany’s Keobi Restaurant, known for its authentic and vibrant Nigerian dishes, and will feature dishes like Chin Chin and Puff Puff, Jollof Rice, Nigerian Salad, Egusi Soup, Fried Chicken and Mingau de Tapioca. Guests can also enjoy Afro-beat music and explore a marketplace presented by Nine Steps Away from Africa, offering handcrafted silver and beaded jewelry, balafons, soaps, musical instruments, and more. Nigerian cocktails and mocktails, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. A book signing will follow.

The conversation will be recorded for future broadcast on WAMC’s The Roundtable.

The following Sunday, November 16, Ozoz Sohoh will be teaching a small group cooking class at Franklin Square Market, SPAC’s lead sponsor for the CulinaryArts.
