Baba, to employ me fit cost u more than 2 cent oo!

I like most foods tho, Spicy Jellof Rice anyday!

Coconut fried rice garnished with Veg and smoked fish/turkey.

I bake as well and my Fav are Egg rolls and Pan-Cakes.

My mom taught me to always put the handle facing the left. Dont use too much oil, not healthy,

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!!

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.

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

 

Your mom had to tell you that? 

I heard that mango + gari = early grave. Till this day, you will never see me drink mango and gari, even for $1mil.

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

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 your 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 ?"
