NIGERIAN FUSION FOOD TOUR.

The first of it’s kind, the Nigerian Fusion Food Tour presented by Heels in the Kitchen was created with the aim of exporting Nigerian food to a larger crowd. By taking some of our everyday food elements and tweaking them, we hope to raise them to a fine dining standard that not only makes them easier for a non-Nigerian palate to understand but also shows the versatility of our Nigerian ingredients. Basically we are turning Nigerian food into Mede-Mede!

The Nigerian cuisine

Nigeria is known for several things; her tasteful music, her people’s deep appreciation for football, extravagant weddings and her jollof pride! However, what is least talked about is the wealth of incredible recipes and fresh produce the nation is lucky enough to have at her fingertips. And it’s time the world gets introduced to the Nigerian cuisine.
