Nollywood actress, film producer, and entrepreneur Florence Okonkwo is set to launch the African cookbook, 54 Flavours of Africa.
The book will be unveiled on Friday, November 8, at a star-studded event at Odeon Cinema, Greenwich, London.
According to the author, the cookbook offers a glimpse into Okonkwo’s rich and personal culinary journey, revealing a passion for African cuisine that stems from her travels and explorations across the continent. It also features over 100 diverse recipes, taking readers on a gastronomic tour of Africa, from the savoury Jollof rice of West Africa to the aromatic tagines of North Africa, the bold curries of East Africa, and the mouthwatering grills of Southern Africa.
Okonkwo said: “This cookbook is a vibrant celebration of Africa’s rich culinary heritage, showcasing the heart and soul of our food. It’s more than just a collection of recipes – it’s a story of culture, diversity, and the flavours that define our beautiful continent. You will find everything from the fiery jollof rice of West Africa to the fragrant tagines of North Africa, the comforting curries of East Africa, and the smoky grills of Southern Africa. I’ve included not only traditional dishes but also modern twists and fusion recipes that reflect Africa’s evolving culinary landscape.”
