My Guide to Food – Exploring and Mapping intersections between Nigerian Cuisine and Foods of the World
Or how I ate in Paris. This post is about a trip to Paris in 2009, travelling for the joy of it, not dictated by work, not a family trip, just my ‘friend’ and I. ***** I dream of food in Paris – soft, flaky croissants with shells that rain confetti on your clothes, flaking […]
I am a gradual learner. In the case of coffee, I’ve progressed from instant to cold brew from grounds. Next step? Buying a cafetière and grinding my own beans because I’m now an aficionado :). After all, do you know all the things I do about coffee? No? Well, grab a cup let me tell […]

Hi. My name is Ozoz. I’m a Nigerian food explorer who’s on a quest – to find and share the sweet, sweet nectar that’s food
