Sometimes, there are a lot of things one ought to be grateful for, but most times we aren't, simply just carried away by the cares of life that we never stopped and realized how fortunate we have been. Being an Igbo child and raised in an Igbo family one of such scenery where I would forever be thankful for.
Thinking of the proud culture and rich heritage that has been passed down to us by our skillful progenitors never leaves my head without planting a smirk of gratefulness at the corner of my face; and a boost of confidence against the world in my chest. The knowledge of the wealthy stock of soup ranging from egusi, ogbolo, ofe ugu, ofe oha, ofe akwu, ofe onugbu, ofe okazi, vegetable soup, ofe nsala; that i had been raised with, is assurance enough for me to down play on every life's challenges and hurdles.
I am also a 100% certain that my siblings all over the world project a similar mindset as you can find them evidently all around the globe causing wonders, conquering as they wander. It is of great evidence that they are conquerors as you find spoils of ladies/gentlemen of all races glued to them in awe; ready or already making families with them. It becomes a necessity for these partners to have a full understanding of their cultural history in order to build a secure future, thereby preserving the tales of our heroism: The quality of food a child was raised with plays a vital role in shaping the child's stature and future; and it for this cause i have written down this cookbook which is a path into the Quintessential African's kitchen.
