Episode description
I’m chatting with the brilliant Nikki May, former advertising exec-turned-author of Wahala, the most delicious novel I’ve read in the past decade. Born in Bristol & raised in Lagos, Nikki’s debut thriller is about friendship, identity, and ambition, but the FOOD in this book (subtly) steals the show. Listeners, this episode is like the audio version of the best meal you’ve ever had. We discuss:
Q+A: “SHOULD I AVOID MSG?” (at 3:50)
- “Creative juices:” How a long lunch with friends became the breeding ground for Nikki’s career transition;
- Character-development: How and why she gave each of the women in Wahala unique relationship with food;
- Classic cuisine & cooking: How Nikki’s Anglo-Nigerian upbringing inspires her day-to-day meals & go to recipes.
