Christmas is almost upon us and one word that stands out amidst others this year is "Thanksgiving".

This is majorly because 2020 gave us a run for our lives. The constant fear of contacting the viral disease, the fear of losing one's job or getting a salary cut, inflation etc was always there.

However, here we are, celebration upon us and what came to my mind was a recipe that was shared and prepared by a culinary mentor of mine; Chef Temi.

This is a protein recipe that is perfect for this period; The Lamb Ragú.

Lamb Ragú or Ragout is a slowly cooked lamb meat infused with different spices and red wine.

The meat sauce is moist and mostly eaten with pasta. It can also be used in making simple sliders and burgers.

It is so delicious and it can be prepared following these easy steps;

There were many studies that was not appreciated decades ago and thought to be waste; people's ideas, thesis, inventions ,music, paintings etc

These lovely ideas were abused and looked down on to the extent that some of the inventors  threw their designs away while others committed suicide. These ideas, we celebrate now.

What happened between the few years in between? We evolved!

Not many years ago, experiencing, loving and seeking out different cuisine is tantamount to being a grub. A useless endeavour However, now we understand better.

What Does It Mean To Be A Foodie?

A foodie is definitely not just someone having extremely love to eat or a grub.

As one myself, a foodie is like a scientist that seems to satisfy his or her quest for knowledge about a particular interest.

A foodie is like an explorer who travels far and seek out mysteries about his world of interest

How To Know If You Are A Foodie

The sole purpose of eating for a foodie is not just to quench hunger. The following are also few of the reasons

1.  Experience: Most foodie are well versed in spice combination and are always curious about the new chef in town or a new food product.

For example, I was at a supermart and I bought a very small cake for a large amount.

The cashier was surprised I bought the cake; she just couldn't understand why I would buy such a small cake for a big amount.

It's about the experience. Nobody wants to make a cake nobody wants to buy. Something must be up and I was right; It was a very soft, sweet, moist cake with a very unique flavour combination.

Moreover, as a foodie, I understand that every chef is unique and eating a meal prepared by another chef can give me insight into his world of flavour. What makes him so unique.

Truth is, most food we eat might be a one-off (we might not eat them again for a long time) However, we have experienced it.

2. Money is never a deterrent: A Foodie does not try to quantify food with money. This is similar to....... Click the link below to continue reading..

https://caterbakes.com/2020/09/the-mind-of-a-foodie-being-a-foodie.html

Step 1: stop beating yourself up to much. Remember God is a caring Father and not one who is angry at you

Step2: find your trigger... Like me, seems your trigger is porn. Delete it all from your phone and try as much as possible to avoid it like a plague

Step 3: understand that you have strated for over 10years... Don't hope it would go in one day. Measure the growth.... From 2 times a day to once a week to once in 2 weeks etc till you improve measurably

Step4. Try and be in a relationship

Step 5: Pray about it. You will be fine

I bought a carton of indomie that was sealed. I paid for it. Technically and under the law, All the content of the pack belongs to me. so, the man was wrong when he said it doesnt belong to him. Funny thing, it surely might not even belong to the owner of the shop. Sorry, I will not return it.

Nobody will tell you to break up. You will break it yourself. Anger issue is a big issue. Don't worry, You have not seen anything. I understand you pity her, they are also very good on bed etc BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE PEACE!! Mark my words. For someone to face your mum and NOT RESPECT YOU! Bros! you will suffer like I did cos I dated almost the exact babe before.

What I'm going to say is going to be very hard but if you can do it, it will work and that is LOVE.

1. Stop complaining. remember this is a project. (6 Months)

2. Show her love. Just spoil her silly. since you say money is not a problem.

study what she loves and put your energy there. Do this as last resort.

The things you have never thought of doing, do it. Call her, love her, encourage her to confide in you, do it all. Why?

Love can break anybody. Also, she is perfectly aware of all the bad things shes doing. Swallow your pride sir and be like Christ. SACRIFICE IS THE WORD!

She's not young. Leave her already and go talk to her immediately. Thank God there is lockdown, maybe you can tell her to come do lockdown with you .. get out of here and go and do it joor

Good day to you from Chef Wale’s kitchen.

Today, we are going to be talking about a subject that is going to empower you. I have never shared this secret before. It’s a real life event how I started my Kitchen with less than $50

I believe if it worked for me, surely it will work for you.

This is very personal to me However, I have to share this knowledge so you can understand that money is not what is stopping you from achieving that great dream of yours.

HOW TO START.

It is said that about 70% of SMEs shut down their business in the first 2 years of operations.

Why is this so?

To start and maintain any business, you must possess the following attribute or pay for the service of someone that has it.

1. Financial intelligence

2. Realistic Marketing Strategy from a Sales expert.

3. A manager who understands structure, monitor growth and can help curb your weaknesses and excesses once the money starts pouring in.

If you can possess this three, you are good to go.

So Lets Start.

Humble Beginning.

If you have limited capital and you do not even understand how to get OPM (Other people’s money) to kick start your business, then you have no option than to start with what you have; and that’s what I did.

What did I have? I had skills.

I’m a good cook
I have a phone
I know who my target customers was.
I had sat down and took time to decide where my market is and who are my target customers. I choose the middle class; the working population who would not mind that my branding is zero; who are not so rich but rich enough to afford me.

They only needed to do me a favour; Eat my food and you are my follower forever!!!. You see, I had great self confidence in my ability to cook. I believed and I knew I was the best.

PLANNING AND EXECUTION
Where I met my first challenge was; How do I market the banks (Which was my first target market). The truth was: the idea of walking into a bank premise and speaking to them scares me terribly and sent shivers down my spine. I prayed to receive strength, nothing came.

I thought my prayer did not work. It was later I knew that the strength was in THE GOING. Later that day..... Read all@

I have to be sincere with you... What you are describing to us is not what I can see in the chat. The stupid 6k she sent to you might be from the 500k given to her by the Alhaji.

She no send you. So either break up or keep your mouth shut and continue the relationship until you are tired... And can you just stop checking her phone for updates?

Disclaimer: This content is not a standard of measurement for these food spots as it is only a personal journal of the chef’s experience and should not be used inappropriately!

Before history itself has food been a major core requirement for living,It’s no news that without food, your body will degenerate and later die.

So food is most important However, what is also equally as important is the quality of the food.

These includes;

* Taste

* Looks (presentation)

* Texture etc.



Tunneling down to caterers, chef and food vendors who exchange Money for food prepared, It is Paramount that food prepared by them must not lack in all these qualities.

This is due to the fact that money is being paid in exchange for your food people see as value.

Okay!

So I made a decision to go around my city’s best restaurants, buy their food and contrast, compare and give my unbiased opinion… well, also to spoil myself… not always about you guys sorry lol

So on different days, I went to two very popular restautants; Maroccaine Lounge and Bar in Victoria Island and the renowned Hubmart in lekki Phase1

In Maroccaine, I ordered their vegetable fried rice and Chicken and in Hubmart, I ordered for Fried rice, beef and Mixed chicken and hotdog pasta in sauce.

So who wowed me the most and which food won the battle for me? Read on here: https://caterbakes.com/2019/11/maroccaine-lounge-vs-hub-delifoods-episode-1.html

Its a beautiful day and another day to unfold a mystery. Working in a corporate environment and running your own business can be one of the most arduous things to do.

However, some of us have been able to get the hang of it and in doing that able to generate income from 2 sources.

Cool Right? I know.

OK, so recently I decided to get bulk money and got a job for myself and these are the ways I have been able to successfully merge my job with my culinary works.

MERGING TWO WORK LIVES

Step 1: When searching for a job, Never go for one that doesn't align with your business in the most minimal way. How do I mean?

GT food and drink

The on-going Gtb sponsored food and drink programme started 2016 and it has featured the best of the best vendors across the country.

Not only that, it has brought in some world renowed chefs across the globe.

It started with Internationally Acclaimed Chefs like;

* Chef Siba (Siba's Table)

* Chef Ed Kimba

* Chef Sunny Anderson (Food Network Star)

* Chef Raphael Duntoye etc

* Chef Jeff Mauro (The Kitchen) Etc

Also present are our own Chefs making waves around Africa and the World;

* Chef Stone of Red Dish Chronicles

* Chef Tolu Eros

* Chef Fregz

* Chef Benedict

* Chef Ette ( The Rotisserie Chef)

In summarily, the who of who of food and Creme de Lacreme of food are all present.

Vendors

This is where I'm going. One impossible thing that Gt food and drink festival have been able to achieve is to bring together over 300 seasoned vendors across Nigeria.

This vendors are highly sought after and having them all assembled together in one place to a foodie is heaven.

Some of the vendors over the years and presently are:

* Ofada boy

* Bukka

* BBQ Cravings

* Ette's BBQ

* Lavada cocktails and more

* Grandma's Hut

* Dundu Nation

* Zizi's Chocolate

* Wing it and many more.....

My Lovely Experience

Going to the festival was a time of unwinding from my stress. Food is my hubby and work and eating food made by other vendors is a real source of joy for me.

Although, I missed not going with family and friends, However, I made up for it by eating the beat of the best foods the festival have to offer.

I started with desserts. I wanted to wet my appetite with a sweet confection and zizi's chocolate cake was a winner.

Good thing about the festival is many of the vendors offers free tasting of their products and zizi's chocolate won me over.

The cake was rich in chocolate and divine. You still have the opportunity to get it as it is still currently on. I made a video for your viewing pleasure.

Then after my chocolate, I decide to attend a master class by Chef Shota from Nagasaki on The Art Of Making Sushi

I will not be detailing the[i] Recipe of the sushi made here[/i]. You can get it on:

http://caterbakes.com.

However, it was awesome time of lecture. The lecture lasted about 1 hour after which I decided to go for BBQ and Sliders from Wing it.

I ordered for two packs of Spicy wings and Beef Sliders; One for me, one for my gangs at home.

This decision I didn't regret because it was the tastiest wings I have ever tasted. I loved it.

I had to restrain myself from eating the second pack.

Before I left, I took a cup of cocktail which I said should include 2 shots of gin. I literally didn't feel anything until after 3 minutes and I was floating... Lollll

Summary is; I enjoyed my time and more good news is the fact that the festival is still on and we have a public holiday by Wednesday which is May 1 (Workers day).

Plan to be there.... What a wawu!!!!!

Stir-frying requires being very strict with cooking time so it doesn’t get soggy.

If the pasta is overcooked when pre-cooking (par-boiling), it will become soggy and the stir-fry is not going to come out fine.

These amidst many rules of stir-frying will be discussed in the course of these write-up.

Most grains (dried foods) can be stir fried and stir frying technique cut across different food processing and preparation.

This is when Food is fried on high heat while stirring vigorously.

Sometimes, it might involved mixing (stirring continuously) processed foods with their corresponding sauce while frying on high heat.

This method preserves food nutrients and prevent overcooking

* It adds to the beauty of the food making it to glister and less soggy

* It saves food materials like oil and other ingredients needed.

I know you might be asking yourself. “|Why should I buy such an expensive pot?”

Is it true it can cook food without water? Can it fry meat without oil?

I will be sharing with you the awesome benefits of the Zepter11 361L metal 11layers bottom sets of pots which is in high demand all over the world.

History On Zepter International

Zepter international is involved in the production, selling and distribution of consumer goods.

It has manufacturing companies in Germany, Switzerland and Italy with headquarter at Switzerland.

The list of their products are endless However, I will be discussing about the 2500€ 30pcs Zepter set of pots which I recently got a hold of.

Benefit Of Using Zepter Healthy Pots (Cookwares)

Food is something you must consume frequently and continuously or else the body begins to die.

This also means that priority should be placed on what one ingest into the body and how it is being prepared.

Physical Attribute


It is indestructible, totally resistant to corrosion and doesn’t change colour

It doesn’t retain food odours and it is non-porous

It transfer heat evenly throughout the pot and increase cooking time

Special Features
It has Temperature sensors on the cover which measures the temperature of the cooking food.
This ensures the food doesn’t burn and nutrients in the food is not depleted.

It is environmentally friendly and resistant to chemical effect
It is neutral and doesn’t cause any allergy
Zepter cooking ware has been infused with a technology that enables you to cook without water and fry without fat.
THE PROCESS
Can food be cooked without water? Definitely not! However, It is discovered that most of the food we cooked already are made of over 40% natural water and there might not be need to add water again.

Its special construction allows food to cook in its natural steam.

To cook with the pot, fill the pot with the food materials that has been washed, turn on the heat and wait till the pot temperature reaches the green spot.

Lower the heat to retain the temperature on that level.

The water in the food joined with the drops from the water you used in rinsing will rise as steam and condense on top to cook.

Do not lift the lid so the steam does not escape until you are sure the food is cooked.

This will ensure that the food’s nutritive, biological values and organoleptic properties are reserved.

This exclude the dried foods like rice, flour cereals etc.

Process of frying without oil/fat
It is generally known that most proteins have natural fat. So it is advised to fry without fat.

The pot is heated till it enters the green level of the temperature sensor on top. Then, the heat is reduced to a minimal level.

Another way to know if the frying pan is at the right temperature is sprinkle water on it. If it bounces off, its at the right temperature.

Lay the meat on it and press down with a fork. Allow to stay for about 1-2 minutes before flipping over.

Repeat this process until your protein is fully cooked.

Zepter Cookwares’ 11 Layers Capsulated Bottom

Zepter has 11 layers capsulated bottom which helps to retain heat for a long period of time.

You should endeavour to put off the heat some minutes before your food is done.

This is because the patented accuthermal bottom layers continues cooking the food even after the heat source is turned off and retains the hotness of the food for hours.

This is the cookware for individuals who love to eat hot foods long after it is prepared.

No need to rewarm. It is also very essential for chefs and caterers who needs to keep their food warm or hot.

The 11 layers are made up of;

Aluminium Alloy

Carbon

Pure Aluminium

Stainless Steel

Turbo Induction

Multiple Cooking Ability

The cookware is stackable which means you can cook 2-4 meals at the same time.

The body is also built to absorb heat and transfer until heat can be well distributed throughout the whole pots.

I was travelling from ibadan to lagos when this shit start worrying me. I was sweating like a fish and I couldn't sit straight. I was also ashamed to tell the bus to stop. So I stopped at redemption camp. I left my bag and all inside bus and was running to a nearby uncompleted building... They had to throw my luggages on the road side. Not a nice experience at all.
