I came home just now and my kid brothers were all smiles. The twins had this big grin grin on their faces. When I asked them why they were smiling, they told me they had both cooked our evening meal (Beans).

Ah! I thought they were joking but my doubts were cleared when they brought me a plate of the scentilating beans. Mehn! When I put one spoon inside my mouth, I momentarily forgot the pains of trekking around the city looking for one fairy-tale job.

This boys tried o. Its not easy to cook family food with such level of perfection. And they are just 11 years old! I know some girls at 21 years of age who would cook salt and add little beans and still be claiming best cook. INTROVERT I did not call your name o.

So at what age did you start cooking? Am not talking of boiling hot water and indomie o.

I was 6 years old when I made my first meal.
Mum was always busy, same with dad & at such, I had to learn very quick..

It was rice & beans, though we had stew in the fridge. I cooked the beans & rice together grin. The rice was already soft with the beans still hard. We had to eat it like that oo grin grin..

@ 8years, I made my first stew.. It was a disaster.. The puree tomato still had that soured taste, coupled with, it was an 'ocean of salt' grin..

While everyone was complaining, I kept on consoling myself, 'it's not bad.. I tried.. The salt isn't much.'..

#Good old days...
Hmmmmm an "Ocean of Salt" indeed.... shocked shocked shocked

Now I know who Chuks emulates...... tongue

About 10. But before that time, I have been helping my Mum, Sister And Aunties to taste for salt and pepper; and also to add water to the food, a little salt to taste from about 6years old! http://www.bummyla.com

At 10.. I had started boiling eggs..



By 12 I was already cooking Chicken intestine and liver peppersoup with scent leaves plucked from our small home farm.

By 14 i was cooking soup and stew with the help and supervision of my Mum who had already bought me a small pot and would set my own fire next to hers and give me portions of her ingredients to work with.

By 16 I started work as the official house boy of the house. I started going to the Market sef to buy the ingredients, wash and prep them myself and cook. When it became work, I started to hate cooking.


When I got into the University in Ghana, I was the official Nigerian soup cook for my guys in my hostel and later house.



True Story: I was one day sitting in traffic at Jakande roundabout area of Lekki Epe road and whilst there I just saw fresh meat on one Mallams table, na so I park o.. Next thing you know I was in the market buying foodstuff for Egusi soup..


Below are some pics from that waka..

Needless to say that I love and enjoy cooking as a hubby. I remember when I would sit with my mum watching food network, copying menus and trying to replicate the meals with the ingredients we could source locally and even substitute those we couldn't get. grin
