Nigeria jollof is more flavoured than Ghana's – Chef Hilda Baci

Nigerian celebrity chef, Hilda Baci has commented on the difference between Ghanaian and Nigerian jollof in terms of flavour.

According to the former Guinness World Record Holder, Ghanaian jollof, unlike Nigerian jollof, is mild in flavour.

“I have been to Ghana and I have eaten the jollof; I have done a competition with a Ghanaian chef ... that was his best representation of Ghanaian jollof, and I have seen the recipe, not one, you guys have quite a number; the tolo beef one. It is pretty much jollof but it is made with beef.

“But let me tell you, because I wasn’t there and I don’t have a lot of information; I cannot say why this is but with Nigerian jollof, Nigerians don’t play with flavour building,” she shared the thought during a podcast interview.

Ghanaians and Nigerians over the years have been battling for supremacy in terms of who has the best jollof recipe.

The fight over the popular West African rice dish has led to several banters on social media and across other media spaces.

Hilda Baci rose to prominence this year, after breaking a Guiness World Record by engaging in a 93 hours 11 minutes cookathon.

Her record has since been broken by Irish Chef Alan Fisher with 119 hours 57 minutes.
