Join me on the Brighton seafront for a vibrant African inspired feast of meats, seafood, greens, fruits and chocolate.

WILD AFRICA is a feast of my ever growing collection of recipes of sumptuous meals reflecting the vibrancy and richness of Africa, with colourful vegetables, bold flavours, and cooked fruits, brought together for a wholesome yet decadent meal. I use cocoa from cooperatives like the Kuapa Kokoo Ghanaian farmer co-op who secure premium prices and welfare of the farmers.

During my recent journey foraging across Nigeria I enjoyed learning and sharing with local communities across the country. The women selling mangoes under a bush of mango trees, the village women preserving food using wonderful techniques I hadn’t known, street food hawkers cooking and selling corn, the vibrant tomatoes and peppers from Jos in the Northern region, well known for its exceptionally arable land and fine weather, my mother’s love of Boli or Bole (a popular street food of roasted plantain) eaten with open fire roasted peanuts and the goodness of the moringa leaves from the trees shading our house; all these inspire my cooking.

Back in my home in Sussex, on the English coast, I relive theses experiences through food, using the best of what is around me and all that I enjoy from other cultures, to create a wonderful marriage of cuisines. My menu is full of indulgence and a celebration of African provenance, using and Ghanaian cocoa, Ugandan organic vanilla beans, West African nut butters, mangoes, with exquisite teas from Malawi, Kenya and South Africa. A medley of local fresh vegetables such as British grown lovage, organic tomatoes and berries, cucumbers, beautiful radishes and more will feature in my feasts.

Vegetarians, vegans and other dietary requirements will be looked after. There is a wide selection to enjoy as many of my recipes are fruit and vegetable based, with substitutions used where necessary.

I look forward to this adventure and creating new traditions through our love for food.

See you at the table. x
