My Everyday Lagos: Nigerian Cooking at Home and in the Diaspora

My Everyday Lagos: Nigerian Cooking at Home and in the Diaspora by Yewande Komolafe is a James Beard Award–nominated cookbook that explores the richness and evolution of Nigerian cuisine through a deeply personal and contemporary lens. Blending 75 vibrant recipes—like jollof rice, puff puff, and groundnut stew—with reflections on identity, migration, and home, Komolafe captures the dynamic food culture of Lagos and its global diaspora. Thoughtful, atmospheric, and beautifully composed, My Everyday Lagos is both a culinary guide and a story of return, connection, and the enduring power of food to shape who we are.
