AfriCali: Recipes from My Jikoni

AfriCali: Recipes from My Jikoni by Kiano Moju is a vibrant and deeply personal cookbook that explores the intersection of African culinary traditions and California’s produce-driven, relaxed approach to cooking. Inspired by Moju’s multicultural background—born to a Kenyan mother and Nigerian father, raised in California, and shaped by experiences across Africa and the diaspora—the book blends flavors from East and West Africa with modern West Coast sensibilities. Featuring approachable recipes, striking photography, and personal stories woven throughout, AfriCali celebrates identity, migration, and the idea that food traditions are constantly evolving while remaining rooted in culture, family, and memory.
