Critics Review
‘A breathtakingly original and fresh piece of food writing, which I found myself compulsively rereading. Aribisala is that rare writer who makes you laugh while also informing you about Nigerian food.’ — Bee Wilson, food critic, author, and journalist
‘Aribisala summersaults through geography, economics, popular culture, art, history, (and yes, of course, sex) via cuisine. Aribisala writes with verve, sass, and with such humour and confidence that it takes one’s breath away.” ― Sarah Ladipo Manyika, author of Like A Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun
