When life doesn’t offer a recipe, sometimes we have to season to taste.

Season To Taste
Have you ever wished life came with a recipe; a foolproof path forward? But what if the secret to a fulfilling life isn't about following a recipe at all?
"Season to Taste", explores the moments of disorientation we all face when life throws us a curveball or our expectations fall flat. It challenges the idea that there's a single, perfect recipe for happiness.
In the end, maybe we don’t make a good life by following a step-by-step recipe, but perhaps by making something with the ingredients God has given us and seasoning to taste.

IN THE KITCHEN WITH
Chef Dozzy Ibekwe
Season To Taste features Chef Dozzy Ibekwe – the owner of Dozzy’s Grill in Chicago.
“My goal with Dozzy's Grill was to share my love and passion for West African cuisine with the entire world. Being in the hospitality industry as long as I have, and trying different foods from many cultures taught me one thing – there is a space for all of our favorite foods to prosper. I wanted to be the bridge that connected West African cuisine to the taste buds of those who have never even thought about trying it.”
In this film we see Chef Dozzy prepare one of his signature dishes – Jollof Rice. Click the link below to get the recipe.
