Hibiscus : Discover Fresh Flavours from West Africa by Lope Ariyo
With her freewheeling, boldly flavourful take on Nigerian cuisine, Lope Ariyo could be the person to make it happen.' - Observer. Lope Ariyo is a rising star of African cooking and Hibiscus, her first book, is packed with delicious dishes. An energetic and supremely talented cook, Lope creates fresh, fuss-free meals that are full of flavour.
With chapters including Fruits, Vegetables & Tubers; Grains & Pulses; Meat & Poultry and Baking & Desserts, there's something for every occasion and for everyone. Nigerian-inspired flavours and cooking methods can transform everyday dishes into something spectacular. Whether it's experimenting with new ingredients (Hibiscus Chicken), reimagining old favourites (Grapefruit and Guava Cheesecake; Baked Kuli Kuli Cod with Cayenne Yam Chips; Lagos Mess), exploring different techniques (Cheat's Ogi, Chin Chin) or finding alternatives to everyday staples (Plantain Mash with Ginger, Corn and Okra Gravy; Nigerian Roast Veg), Lope will help you discover all that modern Nigerian food has to offer.
