Gumbo: A Nigerian and American Southern Comfort Food Style
Toyin Alli brings Chicken 'n Beef Andouille Sausage Gumbo and a side of white rice to the celebratory potluck for Lidia's special 'Flavors That Define Us'. Her father’s Nigerian/West African cooking, and her African-American mother’s experimenting in the kitchen, influenced Toyin’s culinary successes, as well as this dish which blends American Southern comfort food with West African cuisine.
