Written for kitchens
a long way from home

Placeholder — Jay's own story goes here.

Most Nigerian recipes online tell you what to do and not why. They say to fry the pepper base, but not how to know when it is done — so the rice comes out sharp and tasting faintly raw, and nobody can say what went wrong.

JaysCuisine exists to write down the part nobody wrote down. Every recipe carries weights in grams, named substitutions for what UK supermarkets actually stock, and a note on every step that has a failure mode explaining the mechanism behind it.

To write: Jay's background, where the recipes come from, and why this is being made — in Jay's own words rather than these.
