The Flygerians Cookbook with Jess and Jo Edun

Join us for an evening with inseparable sisters, Jo and Jess Edun, to celebrate their wonderful debut: The Flygerians Cookbook. Bringing the sweet taste of Nigeria to the UK food scene, these Peckham-based siblings are striving to make a positive impact through food and the social connections it can create. They believe great food should speak to your soul and warm the heart, so expect Supermalt wings, smokey jollof, pounded yam and rum punch, a large helping of good vibes and the Afrobeats soundtrack. This beautiful book delivers recipes for home-cooked dishes for anyone who loves to eat and wants to experience the uniquely delicious tastes and textures that West African food brings to the table.

Jo and Jess Edun started their food careers with a residency in a pub whilst catering corporate lunches to clients. Five years on in 2022, they opened The Flygerians restaurant in Peckham Palms, a black female-led space supporting start-up businesses. They made it into Vogue in a round-up of 'the best black-owned restaurants in London' and have since attracted plenty of media attention and made several TV appearances.
