"This story is fun, vibrant and absolutely BURSTING with flavour! A brilliant debut from a bright and shining talent in the kidlit world, Onyinye has all the ingredients to tell a good story, and you’re going to totally love what she’s cooked up with this one." Dapo Adeola
Kamsi and Kwame are best friends and their favourite food is jollof rice!
Kamsi thinks his mum’s is best, with spicy peppers. Kwame is sure his mum’s is better, with juicy tomatoes. The boys decide they will each make their own jollof in their mud kitchen, to see whose is best of all…. But when they start playing tricks, secretly adding some very odd ingredients – a caterpillar, nettles and ants – to each other’s dishes, both boys find they have made the WORST jollof ever! What can they do?
Maybe the BEST jollof rice is made when you do it together… A funny and heart-warming read-aloud story about sharing and the joy of cooking together!
