Hello folks, I hope 2012 has been great to everyone thus far. Let me start off by saying a BIG thank you to every single person that voted for us on the Nigerian Blog Awards, we won as a fan favorite and also as judge’s choice; It is a great honor and we are extremely thankful to every single one of our followers, contributors, critics and fans. Thank You!!!!
To wrap up 2012 in grand style, the 9jafoodie team has declared December as Hausa food month; we hope to bring you some of our favorite Hausa recipes.
Looking at food culture in Nigeria, the Northern people have contributed richly to our national food identity. They have contributed meals like; Tuwo(tuo), Kuli-Kuli, Masa, Suya, Yagi, Kunun, Fura de Nunu, Kilishi, tsere, waina to name a few. In its best days, Northern Nigeria was an agricultural hub, this factor plus colonization and religious preferences have had a great influence on northern cuisine.
We are looking for contributions from far and wide; we greatly encourage everyone to contribute in any form within their capacity. Please submit Recipes, pictures or suggestions to admin@9jafoodie.com

What a great idea to look at regional Nigerian cuisine. I’ve been discovering Hausa recipes. I’ll send you an email with links to posts on my blog. Cheers.
Thanks!
This should be interesting. I’m looking forward to learning how to make a lot of things I grew up eating and miss so dearly.
P.s Suya and tsere are exact same things so are waina and masa
hi Shey!!! ho really? my understanding is that Tsere is made from minced meat instead of strips of meat…. and waina is a breakfast egg omelet while masa is made from milled rice.
