About Shirley's Foods

Shirley’s story began with a mother’s determination to preserve her heritage while navigating life’s challenges. Balancing multiple jobs and raising 5 children, she faced the difficulty of providing meals that were not only nutritious but also rich in culture and flavour - without the luxury of time or resources. Determined to keep her children connected to their roots, she created a solution: a versatile, simple way to prepare Jollof Rice that didn’t compromise on taste or quality. What began in her kitchen has grown into a nationwide endeavour, sharing the flavours and spirit of West Africa far and wide. Along the way, we’ve held onto the values that started it all: authenticity, quality, and integrity. Today, Shirley’s is more than a brand - it’s a celebration of culture, tradition, and the power of 6 food to bring people together.Read their story
