Born and raised in the vibrant heart of Nigeria, I have always been captivated by the rich flavors, traditions, and stories that our food carries. My name is Adedoyin, and I am the founder of Vicky’s Creations, where I channel my passion for creativity into fashion and now, the culinary arts. This cookbook is a love letter to my heritage, inspired by the countless meals shared with family and friends, and the rich diversity of Nigerian cuisine that never fails to bring people together.

As someone who has balanced careers in management and entrepreneurship, cooking has always been my way to reconnect with my roots. In these pages, I invite you to explore the bold, authentic flavors of Nigeria—from time-honored recipes passed down through generations to modern twists that keep our traditions alive.

Whether you are discovering Nigerian food for the first time or looking to recreate a taste of home, I hope this book brings you as much joy and warmth as these recipes have brought to my kitchen.

—Happy Cooking!
