A Meal Is a Meal book by Nnamdi Anyadu

A Meal Is a Meal is a gothic collection of food-themed stories that comment on the human condition. In the titular story, a young woman lures and kills a love interest in order to host her cannibalistic family to a meal. In “Potluck Jollof”, a caterer is offended by her sisterhood’s depreciation of her culinary craft. She takes her revenge on them, sabotaging their potluck by serving jollof rice concocted in less than hygienic means. Highlighting the varied myths, beliefs, superstitions and notions that surround the Nigerian culinary culture, A Meal Is a Meal is a journey into the surprising and the bizarre, as well as the tantalising and the delicious.

“A Meal Is a Meal is a meal indeed. It’s a delicious serving of both grounded and transcendental stories that will leave you hungry for more.” —Erhu Kome, author, The Smoke That Thunders
