Finally nailed my grandmother's jollof rice recipe. Three attempts, one very patient family, and now it's perfect. The secret is the tomato base.

kitchen tip

Game changer: salt your pasta water until it tastes like the sea. Not a little salt. A lot of salt. Your pasta will thank you.

family story

My mother taught me this lamb kofta recipe when I was 8. She learned it from her mother. Now I'm teaching my daughter. Some recipes are more than food.
