Let MoAD’s Chef-in-Residence Jocelyn Jackson take you on a culinary tour of Africa with visiting chef-authors, the James Beard Award-winning Alexander Smalls and CEO Nina Oduro. Their recent cookbook showcases 120 recipes from all over the continent, from North Africa’s grilled meats to Central Africa’s cocoyam dumplings. These trail blazers are at the forefront of a growing movement to recognize African cuisine as an integral influence on global culinary trends and an art form in its own right.
