Dr. Noela Mogga was born in South Sudan (then Sudan), and lived there with her family until leaving to pursue college and medical school in the United States. She is an avid food lover. She strives to showcase South Sudan food recipes, culture and natural beauty regimens. When she is not busy practicing Anesthesia full time in her adopted state of Texas, she can be found whipping up delicious meals and taking care of her husband and three children. She is passionate about mentoring youth, being a mother and constantly learning new things.
I am really happy that someone is finally starting a blog about aspects that make South Sudan such a unique place.

Keep sending the recipes. some we plan to use during our safaris in south sudan
Keep up the good work! can you please post a recipe on how to make “cop” and “wal wal.” With much gratitude and appreciation, THANK YOU SISTER. I’m horrible at spilling but I am sure you know very well which dish I speak of : )
*spelling
Jacob, wal wal I believe refers to Akela, a food that I believe originated with Shilluk tribe that is best described similar to couscous. The other food you mention I am not familiar with, I will try to find out.
That’s an awesome job noela l am so proud of you..finally someone is showing the strength of an african culture specially south sudan about food…way to go..thanks.
Dr Noela Mogga,
I am a South Sudanese living in the UK, my wife and I are so impressed with your presentation of our culture and food recipes as well as our natural beauty; it is refreshing and delightful for a young woman like you not shying away from our cultural heritage, values and traditions. All the dishes that you displayed are deeply rooted into our South Sudanese culture. I am really so proud of your work, please keep doing what you do best.
Your reviews are as sweet as you. Nice to see Sudanees food being taken forward to public.
Thank you for your input Abhay.
Hello! I’m in charge of snacks for a Little Flowers girls group studying St. Bakita and would like to include authentic foods from Sudan. Can you recommend a few recipes the average American mom could have success with that the girls would also enjoy?? This site is lovely. Thank you!
Yes Ma’am.
I will respond to your email directly with my choices.
Noela Mogga.
