[quote author=Mariangeles post=90849071]Were winners picked based on likes?

I'm not sure... people didn't even submit...about 7 peeps submitted so it wasn't that serious. It was just a challenge

Munzy14:
You did extra.

The noodle on it's own is Carbohydrate source. All you needed was combine your vegetables and protein sources to deliver a perfect presentation of complete meal.. But you went and sourced for another Carbohydrate (potato ) which deviates from the brand.


Plus, your background was like, If you cook finish come and shine let me see.


In making a meal you need to consider the classes of food.
carbohydrate, protein, vitamins, fat&oil, minerals and water.

This is y snacks like sharwama, pizza are always seen as complete meal.

Meanwhile, that your cinnamon rolls detailed steps is awesome.

@your first and second lines, that was exactly how I felt. I wanted to make beef patty but money no day that time. I also wanted to add veggies but everything came out a mistake...I was just discouraged by myself after all the efforts I put into making it.

Abeg explain the background stuff again...I no understand

Thanks boss

Thegamingorca:
wth

pocohantas:
It is nice. Aesthetically pleasing. Na to taste am remain.

For the image, I think natural light could have helped more. That way I can take in the whole image at once. A white surface would help too.

Thanks. I didn't like the potato patty taste.

I have another pics with natural light. Lemme attach

Hathor5:
It looks perfect to me but ...
... you don't have to be perfect.

Perfection can kill the fun.

True. Perfectionism is a disease...sometimes

I made this for an IG noodles competition weeks back but I was scared of uploading cos I felt it wasn't good enough.

What do you guys think? This is Potato patty| Noodles| Egg sprinkled with chill & black pepper & parsley

Halcyon123:
Seriously I will find you when I enter town. All this pictures, no be look again. Na chop remain so get ready

Recipe please

Cinnamon Roll Dough
½ cup milk warm (105 degrees F)
¼ cup + ½ tbsp granulated sugar divided
½ tbsp dry yeast
1 large eggs room temperature
3 tbsp butter melted
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of sea salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Filling
½ cup brown sugar packed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp butter softened

Mix your ½ tbsp sugar and warm milk together
Gently sprinkle the yeast on the milk mix, cover and allow to proof for 10mins
After 10mins, the mix will be foaming.
Add in your remaining sugar, egg, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and flour. Mix till a sticky dough is formed
Transfer to a floured surface and need for about 10 mins or till the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, deflate the risen dough. Roll on a floured surface into a rectangle shape.

Mix your cinnamon and brown sugar together for the filliing
Gently spread the filliing butter on the flattened dough surface
Sprinkle your cinnamon sugar mix over the dough. Give spaces on the edges.
Roll tightly from one edge to another. Seal the edge with water or egg. Pinch so it wouldn't loosen
Cut with a very sharp knife. Place the rolls in a buttered and floured pan or line your pan with parchment paper. Cover and allow to rise for 30 mins. While this is ongoing, preheat your oven to about 200 degree.
Coat/brush the risen dough with egg.
Bake till it is golden brown for some minutes (about 15 - 25 mins)

Mariangeles:

Hathor5:
What's wrong with the chicken? Looks good to me.

I forgot to warm it...it got bad jare despite the re-frying

Mariangeles:
All I saw was a beautiful picture, until I read that...
It was unnecessary.

I meant the chicken was sour. I didn't notice till I took a bite. Apologies though

Rice with the left over bony chicken and friend shaki

Las Las ehn, I still enjoy my food

BlueRayDick:
The last meal I had yesterday was around 5pm. Due to the early morning downpour in Lagos and my carryover hunger, I decided to do it heavy, hot and spicy this morning.

Breakie : Chicken Burger + chips + Nescafe

pocohantas:
So, NIGERIAN JOLLOF RICE OR GHANAIAN JOLLOF RICE?

Let’s not go into that one. A good cook would make a good jollof rice. You can take it with salad, fried plantain...gizdodo, etc.

Feel free to replicate this. You can ask questions too.

Well done madam Poco. I have learnt 2 new tricks.

I wish to create a thread like this soon but....

Munzy14:
nice freestyle....

Good way to go...

Thanks boss!!

Munzy14:
you welcome bro.


To the context, chicken prizes differs according to location.
2500 for whole chicken your friend got a cool prize.

Did u say 1200 per whole chicken in lagos? thats a huge loss if it is sold at such, unless it is these 4wks plus- 5weeks chicken, Even at that...

On average its 1200-1300per kilo of a whole chicken.

So if the bird is weighing 2kg, u will have to pay 2400.

usually you can see a pack of 5kilo, 10kilo..... 100kilo whole chicken.

In this case, 2birds can weigh 5kilo, and the owner sell 1200 x 5 = 6000.

It's all packaging and business.

you can check up some associates of mine @depearfarm @forthwothfarms or @chicken9ja on Instagram.


finally, yes doing online/offline tutor is good.. U can make cool cash out of it, especially the online.
SM is a blessing only few knows.

True. Thanks boss
That's how they sell those chicken in Lagos

Hathor5:
"Whole corn, like you eat on the cob, is considered a vegetable. The corn kernel itself (where popcorn comes from) is considered a grain. ... This is why several foods people think of as vegetables are actually fruits, like tomatoes and avocados. So, corn is actually a vegetable, a whole grain, and a fruit."



Let's say it's meat.

Botanically, tomato is a fruit. The controversy sprang up due to a US law I guess

Dyt:
I kuku have a full time job

hehehehe. Castle builder....eku ise o

ubizle:
Please, what did you use to seal the mini meat pies. It doesn't look like fork lines.

I used meat pie cutter

Halcyon123:
Would love to be part of the class. Will send you a msg on whatsapp

Okay. It will commence first week of July though

Liposure:
good job

Thanks

pocohantas:
Lol. The round one looks like a tortoise. It looks like something sha. Nice chicken pie.

As for the full chicken, I was at a frozen food shop and I heard someone ask, can’t remember the price I heard. I think N1300. I was shocked at the price, expected it to be more expensive.

Lol @tortoise. I took a second look at the pics, I agree with the tortoise shape.

Chicken is quite cheap in Lagos

Chicken pie

I had one chicken breast and bony part leftover that I couldn't bake cos the tray was filled up. I used the chicken breast and some Irish potatoes to prep this yummy, spicy pie. Don't mind the shape of the round pie, I couldn't get my desired shape

I'll be starting a WhatsApp group pastry tutorial soon... it'd not cost much to register. Kindly notify me if you're interested. I'm open to personal online pastry training at an affordable price.
I'm also available for home training. Kindly PM me if you're interested!

Halcyon123:
I have a friend over there who sells chicken incase of next time.

Okay. I'll contact you when I need one. Thanks

armyofone:
Please how much does that chicken cost in Nigeria?

Throw the leg come please.

My friend bought though. He bought a live chicken, they killed and helped him freeze it. I think he bought it for 2,500.
A kilo of chicken is about 1,400 here.

Chicken price varies with location. Chicken is cheaper in Lagos. Full chicken should be around 1,200 in Lagos...lagosians should help clarify this

armyofone:
Taste good and bland but powerful food
The bland seafood taste is the reason mussel is cooked in spices such as garlic, onions, pepper, tomato, wine, lime etc

Oh...one day one day I will taste it

Munzy14:
This chicken passed through a lot in that dipping o..


I like the outcome, so inviting... If you are residing in my area eeh, I wouldn't mind send some chicken come ya way most weekends, All I know is every weekend I will have well grilled chicken to snack on.

Weldone bro.

Rice and chicken. Craving satisfied

Chicken was seasoned & steamed. Dipped in a local mix made up of freshly squeezed pineapple juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, ginger-garlic-chilli powder, honey, seasoning, salt, margarine and sesame oil

...story so far...
After craving & searching effortlessly for chicken, I gave up the search cos when I get money, I no day see chicken buy and when I broke, chicken day boku for everywhere.
Well my friend brought a full chicken to help him grill for a small picnic.... here's the result

Hathor5:
Flaky/puff pastry is usually a lot of work so I buy it but here is a quick recipe. If you feel like you want to make it, I will give you the recipe for the filling.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUmoikpAq7Y

This is puff pastry. I think this is the hardest pastry..I took the course in culinary school. I'll try it once I get my fridge. Puff pastry is bae though

Hathor5:
Vegan is too radical for me. I can't even be a vegetarian even though sometimes I wish I could.

What's the difference between vegan and vegetarian
