Nigeria now has a James Beard-winning food historian. 🇳🇬✨
Yesterday, Ozoz Sokoh won the 2026 James Beard Media Award for Emerging Voice in Books for her cookbook, Chop Chop: Cooking the Food of Nigeria (Artisan).
This recognition affirms the power of storytelling to preserve culinary heritage, broaden perspectives, and deepen our understanding of food cultures.
Congratulations to Ozoz Sokoh on this remarkable achievement! 💖

James Lambie: This is great news - @foodlove, we need more on this.
I see the book was also a New York Times Best Cookbook of 2025.
It's been ordered and can't wait for it to arrive. Hopefully they chop-chop.
