Standard Foods Academy
Teaching Nigerian and West African home cooking to everyone who carries it with them, wherever they live.
Bringing the taste of home to European kitchens
Standard Foods Academy (SFA) started with a simple frustration: missing the food of home while living in Europe, and not knowing how to cook it with what the local supermarket sells.
We collect the classics (soups, stews, rice, swallows, grills, small chops and drinks) and adapt them for kitchens in Germany, across the EU and in the UK, without losing what makes them taste like home.
Our first cookbook, Taste of Home, Far From Home, is available now on Amazon.
Our values
Tradition first
Recipes cooked the way our mothers and grandmothers cooked them. We adapt the ingredients, not the soul of the dish.
Practical for Europe
Real supermarket names, freezer-friendly methods and oven or air-fryer options for small flats and busy weeks.
Food that brings us together
Party jollof, small chops and Sunday pots are meant to be shared with family, friends and neighbours.
