Ozoz Sokoh is a food explorer, educator, budding curator, and Traveler By Plate, for whom "Food Is More Than Eating". In 2009, she began journaling about food on her blog, Kitchen Butterfly. In 2013, she created the #NewNigerianKitchen, developing her philosophy and practice with Nigerian food. Also central to her work is connectedness through food, from food sovereignty, cultural identity, reclamation of food systems and importantly, the joy of eating. Her research and documentation explore the roots of Nigerian and West African cuisine, the impact of West African intellectual contributions to global development from the American South, through the Caribbean to Europe and Latin America, and the connection to the Afro-diaspora.
Her ongoing exploration, "Coast to Coast: From West Africa to the World" traces the histories and edible trails of West Africa and its diaspora through ingredients and "commodities" and is documented on Feast Afrique. It includes an open-access digital library of 250+ cuisine and cook books
