Socafro

The word ‘Socafro’ is a mash-up of Alistair Jeje’s two favourite types of music: the rhythmic beats of Soca from Trinidad & Tobago and the soulful lines of Afrobeat from Nigeria. This combination reflects Alistair’s own dual heritage and it’s also the name of his business, Socafro Kitchen. Each recipe in this book, from his Afro-Trini macaroni pie to his take on jollof rice, tells a story reminiscent of Alistair’s childhood memories, bridging the culinary gap between West Africa and the Caribbean.
