A friend who just returned from Cameroon, brought me some black turtle beans, and you needed to have been there to see the joy all over my face. Once the potatoes are soft, fold in the cooked beans and give it a nice stir.
This weekend, it is #NigeriaDecides2023 and I’ve chosen to remain indoors until it is all over. This means more cooking, more baking and more experimenting in the kitchen. For the past 4 weeks, I’ve been promising myself chocolate cake, but I’ve been too lazy to keep this promise. Thankfully, my stay-at-home mood has got me bored enough. The recipe to this yummy chocolate cake has been in my phone for 4 months now and am sharing it with you today. Continue reading for ingredients and steps
(more…)A reader sent a DM to me last week on my twitter and asked if I could upload an easy recipe for Burger Buns and I said YES… You need to make the yudane first. Yudane is a Japanese secret that we use to achieve really soft bread.
I made a few changes to the recipe, by deep frying the beef and roasting the tomatoes, tatashe, ginger and garlic. These changes turned this sauce to another level and I have not made tomato sauce any other way, since
I do this for 10 hours, some people do it for as much as 18 hours and I think quantity matters. Those people who do it for nearly 20 hours do it in a huge batch, usually for restaurant purpose.
Whoop Whoop!💃🏽💃🏽 I finally get to share a pancake recipe for people who are allergic to gluten because of Celiac disease. I remember early in my 300 level in Uni, I’d make a large batch of pancakes for myself and my Neigbor who was gluten intolerant.

If you know me well, you’d know that meat pie is the love of my life. I can eat 3 at once_ yes unapologetically. One other reason I love it, is because it is the fastest.

I have made Banana Bread so many times. And I can tell you that, the beauty of banana bread is the fact that you can customize it as you like. In the past, I have made plain banana bread, raisin banana bread, and even chocolate banana bread. I have topped banana bread with chocolate chunks and other nuts. This is the fun part of banana bread I was telling you about. Today, I want to try it with M&M. M&M is one of my favorite chocolates. So why not put in my banana bread. Continue reading and see how beautiful this bread turned out.

Weekends are always great because, we have enough time to relax and have fun. While the boys are stuck in front of the TV, playing videos games or getting emotional over some stupid football match, the girls could either be at the spa with cucumber slices on their eyes or ( just like me) they could be in the kitchen, making a pile of chin chin for the entire family. Chin chin is a very common snack in Nigeria. With uncountable chin chin recipes out there, mine stands out. This is because of its unique shape, which sometimes confuses people.
