061 Jollof Rice and Other Traditions with Nigerian-Canadian Ify Ogbue

Welcome today to Ify Ogbue, a nutritionist by profession and food blogger by passion, sharing a classic - well, I think we could even say THE classic Nigerian dish - Jollof Rice. (PS - Please allow me to just wave the white flag here and say I’m not in the middle of any national debates over Jollof recipes! I’m just a woman following a recipe from my good friend and podcast guest, Ify.) Anyhow, Ify and I caught up way back in August to discuss Jollof Rice, of course, and also maintaining relationships and roots in Nigeria as an immigrant to Canada. Ify educated me on the history and meaning of Ankara cloth and addressed my concerns about appropriating it in photos. Finally, we talked about Ify's background as a nutritionist and her unique approach to food blogging based on that perspective.
