More coming soon 👀.

If you’re a retailer and you’d like to stock them, I’d love to hear from you, get in touch.

Ps. Hope you’ve all had a great start to the year!

Stuck on what to get your Secret Santa? Need some stocking fillers (no, not that kind)? I’ve got you, these little culinary gems will seriously spice up your gifting and their eating game. 🌶️✨

First up: . Listen… WOW! I was gifted a jar and it’s rich, smoky, and downright addictive. Admittedly, I’ve only had it on eggs so far but a lamb stew infused with this flavour is 100% calling me.

Next: ’s vegan jerk marinade is absolutely delish! I haven’t tried the Miso Jerk yet, but I already know it’s giving dreamy, flavour-packed goodness. Grab a jar quick because every batch sells out fast.

Then we have the new kids on the block: and their jollof paste, now in a Hot version for those of us who can take the heat. All I can say is… let the jollof party commence. 🎉

AND breaking news: just launched their signature spice blend. Say less. I’ll be sprinting to the restaurant to pick up a jar or three.

And of course, you know what goes perfectly with all these stocking-fillers?
📚 A cookbook. Always a cookbook.

First mince pie ✅, Festive adverts ✅… Christmas prep starts now! 

Cookbooks are my favourite gift for inspiration, culture, and great design. They capture how our times and taste buds have changed, and how beautifully our food continues to tell our stories and connect us all.

The past few years have brought an incredible array of cookbooks by brilliant Black writers and chefs here in the UK and across the diaspora. From Kin: Caribbean Recipes for the Modern Kitchen by Marie Mitchell and AfriCali by Kiano Moju, Eat, Habibi, Eat! by Shahir Massoud, to East Winds and West Winds by Riaz Phillips. And so many more!

So, if you’re looking to add to your library, treat someone you love, or try a new cuisine, check out my latest newsletter for my gift guide favourites for the season.

From contemporary classics to sweet treats, Africa’s finest, and vegan delights, there’s something for every foodie on your list. There’s much talent to celebrate, and each book showcases the diversity, creativity and pride woven through Black food culture today.

BLACK EARTH WISDOM: SOULFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH BLACK ENVIRONMENTALISTS BY LEAH PENNIMAN

‘Black Earth Wisdom’ is an insightful anthology curated by Leah Penniman, author of ‘Farming While Black’, that explores the deep spiritual and scientific connections Black people have to the land, water, and climate.

Drawing on centuries of cultural heritage, this collection brings together essays and interviews from prominent Black environmentalists who emphasise ecological humility and the sacred relationship with nature that has been preserved despite systemic efforts to sever this bond.

Contributors include figures such as Alice Walker, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Queen Quet, adrienne maree brown, and Dr. Ross Gay, who share their wisdom on how the earth’s health is intertwined with racial and environmental justice. The book addresses how exploitative practices harm both the environment and marginalised communities, causing food apartheid, climate injustice, and racial violence. Penniman underscores the importance of returning to the earth for guidance, highlighting how Black communities are reviving ancestral practices of ecological stewardship.

‘Black Earth Wisdom’ is a powerful call to honour nature as our ultimate teacher in the fight for racial and environmental justice.
