Heh. 'Passion' is stretching it a bit. I doubt I can ever be passionate about cooking ever since I got one of my breasts scalded in the kitchen. Cococandy knows the story

Okay, liking for cooking then. You and I know it starts from "I will try this and then, it comes nice". This will encourage you to do more. Remember na from clap we dey enta dance.

BlueRayDick:
You have done well

I used to be like u seeing cooking as a chore. In the university I had 3 roommates who enjoy cooking a lot that they do fight for the chance to cook. So all tru university I only cooked like twice. They always cook and I always eat.

It was when I was posted to the north for NYSC things change. My PPA was a government school quite far from the town and u can't buy any cooked food in that village. We live in the school compound and we only go to town mostly when allawee is paid or on special ocassions.

Being always lazy about cooking, I took enough garri from home and with kulikuli quite cheap there, I bought enough to last for 2 weeks . I won't even lie, I took garri to the extent I was sick within a week and half. More like the garri just dug out some malady or something.I couldn't step out of my room for a full day.

The second day while on my sick bed, a female corper that also hailed from Lagos cooked better rice and fried stew topped with beef and brought it to my sick bed. Somebody helped me get malaria drugs and I devoured the food hungrily. That same evening she brought me yam and egg that tasted really nice and I used my drugs.

I kid you not, the next day I was back on my feet full of life. Right there and then I knew my problem was related to not eating good food. That was how I enter town buy all the buyables including that Hausa smoked catfish, prepared better stew and chop better rice and beans with it.

And since then you haven't looked back

The garri story is quite funny.

God bless the lady who cooked for you when you were sick. I really love such acts of kindness.

Woke up very hungry and had a quick breakfast from the snacks earlier made for the week.

Breakfast:
Meat pie and ginger infused hot chocolate.

Ingredients for the real deal...

You sabi the thing. I don’t know how to cook it any other way.

Ishilove:
Recipe please...

Fresh tomatoes and peppers chopped or roughly blended
Onions chopped ( a good amount for sweetness)
Smoked fish or dried fish cleaned (I used eja kika)
Crayfish (for taste)
Cowskin ( I didn't use it this time)
Palm oil
Salt

Method:

1. Heat your palm oil, but do not allow to bleach

2. Add in your chopped onions, stir and allow to fry a bit

3. Add in your fresh tomatoes and peppers blend, stir and allow to fry for some minutes

4. Add your cleaned dried or smoked fish and ground crayfish, salt to taste, seasoning (optional), cleaned cowskin (if you're using), stir well and allow to fry
* Taste to balance your salt and seasoning if you're using

Your palm oil stew is ready ( I also call it village stew)
It is very easy and very delicious.

Note: This recipe does not require tomato paste, just fresh tomatoes.
If you're a fan of onions, use a good amount and there'd be no need for seasoning cubes.
Crayfish is also very important for that local taste.

Tastes delicious and full of fiber
