We’re glad you’re here. Our passion is to bring the taste of traditional African foods to your tables with little or no hassle.

Preparing authentic African dishes could take hours on the stove. Over time, as many Africans migrated from the villages, cities and countries of birth, they left family “chefs” behind, along with delicious African cuisine recipes. This is an effort to keep traditional african foods alive.

​Ufuoma Okharedia, a mother and wife, is the CEO and Founder of Nerrido. When she left Nigeria, she realized there was a gap with availability to traditional African meals. She sought to create accessible authentic African foods and sourced authentic ingredients locally. As a result, she shared her joy of cooking online while also selling blends of tomato stew for jollof rice.
