About the author

Yes, we need food for survival. In many ways, food brings people together and creates opportunities to learn. This is why i wrote Jollof Rice with Grandma. It’s a story of a child enjoying the art of cooking with her grandmother. Kids are so curious and the questions i get asked during my author visits bring me so much joy! Jollof rice is eaten by tens of millions of people - the art of cooking and eating must be experienced!
Regarding the recipe at the end? You are welcome!
Mum, wife, community volunteer and business leader, Vanessa lives in Missouri with her family.
