My mother and grandmother taught me how to cook soup without frying palm oil. They told me that frying palm oil or ogbono is for city girls.
Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by Biabeke(f): 1:32am On Nov 04, 2009
My mother also taught me how to cook stew with fresh and blended tomatoes without boiling them before adding to the stew. Boiling tomatoes? Yuck!! tongue

Cooking in a clean kitchen

Clean as you go

Clean before you go(leave)

Do the dishes before the food settles. Now I do the dishes before eating the food. I can't enjoy my food while the pot is still dirty.

After my food, straight to the sink and the ritual is completed.

Ready for another feast!

There is nothing as sweet as coming to the kitchen and all you have to do is to take the source pan, place it on the burner and start cooking.

I learnt never to add sugar to garri before adding water, because it will not swell to the maximum extent.

grin grin grin But that was in boarding school. My mum went to heaven when I was really young.

embarassed cry

Is not hygienic to have s*x in the kitchen while cooking, always wash hands before torching anything in the kitchen

Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by vanitty: 8:49am On Nov 04, 2009
My mum hates hates to waste food.
I learnt a lot of ways you can eat left- over food lol
Eating okro with rice, with ekuru, infact my mum will eat any food with okro if she can.
My mum eats her yam in a very peculiar way, she doesn't peel the yam, she just slices it, after it is cooked she then peels
My mum really didn't teach me how to cook, i leart that from my grandmother
Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by mmaks: 8:51am On Nov 04, 2009
sweet momsy.taught me to always put maggi before salt in a soup to avoid oversalting the food. to put oil early while cooking so it

can cook and blend well. love her to pieces. still crave for her food though i am married.
Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by BIKINI(f): 9:18am On Nov 04, 2009
Rituals i have picked up from mu mummy and still learn whenever i visit , remain countless and priceless . But some am willing to share
1)
if u ever have the misfortune of pepper going into ur eyes ?
dont fret , calmly put 2 to three lil pinches of salt in your mouth an suck on it making sure u taste and actually swallow it . u'll be surprise @ d speed the pain will dissappear even without dousing your eyes with water.
2 ) powdered ofo should be mixed with oil 1st before adding it to any soup.
3)parboiling beans reduces heartburns.
4) egusi is best "fried" with stock and oil .
5)be able to cook fast,on time and present tasty meals . mumsie: "baby do dis tin sharp sharp now abi habaa pple should die of hunger first ?"
6) have a winning seasoning and recipe( if possible a signature recipe ); organic or artificial
7)wash ur hands b4 and and after cooking not 4geting ur dishes oooooo
Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by Vivibrown(f): 9:55am On Nov 04, 2009
I can't remember mum teaching me d kitchen rudiments but i can say i observed her closely. Like how 2 make cooking very snappy, keeping the surrounding of the kitchen clean including the dishes, using good quantity of ingredients(crayfish, Iru/dawada to give natural taste ) for soup etc. According to her, a good/bad cook is only identified when she does not use artificial boost like maggi nd others

Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by emiemi(f): 11:00am On Nov 04, 2009
What i learnt?

1. Cooking delicious meal is a sure way to your hubby's heart anyday. grin

2. She used to insist on pounding crayfish and locust bean in d small mortar and not blend it. I bet it gives it a natural taste.

3. A clean kitchen keeps the doctor away grin
Re: Which Kitchen Rituals Did You Learn From Your Mother? by emiemi(f): 11:03am On Nov 04, 2009
And lest i forget, food wastage is a grave offence too. I have kinda taken to it seriously.
