Whatever I experience about food I want to share with others.
"Cooking with Wanda"
Jambalaya April 8 - 10, 2021
Wanda's Jambalaya recipe featured in "Rice" by Micheal W. Twitty. Micheal's historical story of Rice from Africa to the South is intriguing, informative and delicious.
I'm inspired to cook many of these Rice recipes including my version of Jollop Rice - that I learned to cook in Nigeria. Celebration of Rice.
