A Celebration of Nigerian Cuisine

Cook with Tonie

Bold flavours. Honest recipes. The best of the Nigerian kitchen — and a little beyond.


"Nigerian cuisine is bold, generous, and deeply welcoming — much like the culture it comes from. This book tries to honour that."
— Anthony Obika, Cook with Tonie

The author

Anthony Obika

I learned to cook watching my mother in the kitchen growing up in Nigeria. What started as a way to stay close to her became a genuine love for food that has followed me ever since.

By university, the kitchen had become home. Friends gathered, plates were filled, and the table was rarely empty. Cooking for people turned out to be one of the most natural things in the world.

This book is the result of all of it — the mother's kitchen, the student flat, the roadside grills, and the quiet hours spent cooking for no other reason than the pleasure of it.

"The efo riro stopped everyone mid-conversation. The room just went quiet. That kind of silence at a dinner table says everything."

"Those suya wings were something else. Bold, nutty, perfectly crispy — I am still thinking about them weeks later."

"The pistachio ice cream was my highlight of the night — and I wasn't expecting that at all. Rich, distinct, and absolutely delicious. It was one of the most talked-about dishes at the table."
