Hi I'd need to know if you'll be making jollof rice or jollof quinoa, please.
Hello Eliana. We will be making both. You can choose what you will like to cook. I give the option as some people may be cutting out rice while others may want to to try another grain. Do you have a preference?
Do you know a great home cook? Introduce them to us and you’ll both earn money off your next WeFiFo event.

Lorato was lovely. She made everyone feel comfortable. The recipe was very clearly explained. I don't use chilli much but was able to put just the right amount in, thanks to her explanations. My son popped in a few times to help. And we all lived the food. Really lovely.
