Socafro

JD has been cooking at his food stall, Socafro Kitchen, since 2020 and hasn’t looked back. The word ‘Socafro’ is a mash-up of JD’s two favourite types of music: the rhythmic beats of Soca from Trinidad & Tobago and the soulful lines of Afrobeat from Nigeria. This combination reflects JD’s Afro-Caribbean dual heritage as well as the recipes in this book, from jerk chicken to jollof rice. It’s not only the food that JD loves, but the food he loves to share.

This is the latest in a series of cookbooks from Irish Authors by Blasta books. Check out Tacos by Lily Ramirez-Foren, Hot Fat by Gastro Gays, and The United Nation of Cookies by Jess Murphy (Kai Galway) & Eoin Cluskey (Bread 41)
