A cookbook that thinks it is a museum. A museum that thinks it is a magazine. A magazine that thinks it is a love letter to West African rice.

ChopJollof is the definitive editorial and culinary archive of jollof rice and its regional cousins — thieboudienne, benachin, riz au gras, and the family of one-pot West African rice dishes that descend from the Jolof Empire.

We cover sixteen countries. We publish the recipes the internet has never had — the grandmother techniques, the regional subvariants, the oil timings, the bottom-of-pot smoke. For every canonical recipe we publish, we publish a ChopJollof Signature: our reimagined, tested, elevated version. Not to replace tradition. To add to it.

We do it on a website designed to win Awwwards Site of the Year. Beautiful design is a marketing investment; it brings readers who would never have found us through search. Once they are here, the content has to hold them. So we spend ten times longer on the writing than on the type.
