This cookbook offers an accessible and informative introduction to Nigerian food, complete with helpful regional maps, language insights, and thoughtful ingredient substitutions. I'll definitely try my hand at at least a stew or two, and I came away with a deeper understanding of Nigerian cuisine— that alone made it well worth the read.

Very encompassing of Nigerian food culture. This is as much a book about the food of Nigeria as it is about recipes. And I will admit that I was very surprised by how much Nigerian cooking has been influenced by other countries, but you can definitely see those influences in a number of the recipes. For example imoyo eleja (fish escabeche with salsa). Yes please! That's on my list of some of the first recipes I want to try.

Beautiful color photos, delicious sounding recipes, and a journey through Nigeria's rich food history make this a fabulous book for anyone interested in cooking, or learning more about, Nigerian cuisine.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Chop Chop is a wonderfully vibrant book, walking the reader through the food of Nigeria. Describing regional variety, the history and the wide variety of flavors, all are richly portrayed in a well written and easy to follow prose. Learning about the culture and the cuisine was a journey where I learned a great deal, from the history to the religious influences of the area. The first recipe we tried was the puff puff, and it was easy to follow, easy to make and even more easy to eat! These were a hit with my children, along with the meat pies. They have already picked the next few recipies to try - next on the list is plantain fritters, followed by samosas and the jollof rice! I think we will quite happily cook our way through the whole book, and back again. What a great read, and highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous cookbook with beautiful photography and very approachable recipes. Often when looking at regional cookbooks such as Chop Chop I run into the issue of unobtainable ingredients that are hard to locate in the US. I found this to not be the case; a great substitution guide is even provided at the beginning of the book.

The recipes themselves are delicious; the couple I have tried are flavorful and the recipe easy to follow. I'm looking forward to learning more about Nigerian cuisine and exploring more of these recipes.

Thank you Netgalley, Artisan Books, and Ozoz Sokoh for sending me this advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book is fantastic! It is a great introduction into Nigerian food.

The photos are stunning, and are so warm and inviting. The ingredients, recipe instructions, and techniques are incredibly detailed, and really helped me to understand the nuances of the ingredients and cooking styles.

I live in a rural area, and some ingredients are hard to find here. Since the descriptions of ingredients are so detailed, there are a lot of things I can find a good substitute for. There is also a great list of substitutions available as well!

There are quite a few tasty recipes I'm planning trying soon.

Overall, I highly recommend this book if you are interested in trying flavors from another region of the world.
