The Gambia has emerged as the champion of jollof rice at the West African Food Festival (WAFFEST) 2025, held in Accra, Ghana, defeating teams from Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone. The Gambia’s victory in the jollof rice category was led by chefs Haddy Nyang and Momodou Alpha Jallow, who were awarded gold medals for a dish that impressed the panel of judges. Chef Musa Darboe, head of the Gambian team, said the triumph reflected “the skill, tradition, and dedication of Gambian chefs.” The team’s efforts were supported by the Gambia Tourism Board and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, highlighting the government’s commitment to promoting the country’s culinary heritage. The Gambian team also secured medals in other categories, adding to the country’s growing WAFFEST record. In 2019, Gambian chefs won Best Chef and Best Dessert in Accra, and in 2023, they claimed the jollof rice crown in Lagos. While debates over which country produces the “best” jollof rice persist, the competition highlights the cultural and economic value of West Africa’s culinary traditions. As Chef Darboe noted, “These contests celebrate our history, creativity, and the shared love of food across the region.”
