If you’d guessed salad was going to be my next post then you are so right. I just couldn't afford to let the remaining vegetables used for the chicken shawarma go to waste - food recycling. I had to put it to good use. It is difficult to get Africans to eat salad but thanks to the ‘get fit’ obsession going around.
Le Bae's Chicken Shawarma
Who said you can never get an African man to the kitchen? Well that means you don’t starve them enough because if you do then, they would know their into the kitchen. Ooook don’t eat me yet, I’m only joking and yes, never ever starve your man. At home I do 85% of the cooking and I’m always grateful to hubby
Ugwu Omelette and Yam Toasties
I met this lovely lady recently, we started talking....she checked my blog and said right; you have to start posting recipes for 'healthy eating fanatics' like her. She said her husband's dietary needs made her change her eating habit/culture and she's now hooked to eating right. She told me about her ugwu omelette,

Okra Pepper Soup (Igbagba Ofofo)
It would be a sin if I don’t share this lovely hearty recipe with you all. How are you doing today? This recipe is classic, it is simple and above all yummy.

How to Make Chin Chin
We Nigerians don’t joke with our street foods at all. In fact they are like the things that keep us going and together. We love our foods and we forget all our sorrows and problems and just enjoy the moment. One of our favourite street snack is chin chin.
How To Make Kokoro
I’m starting today’s post with a little humour, if you don’t know what kokoro, sisi pelebe(peanut brittle), ekanna gowan (sugar candy), balewa, baba dudu and the likes are, then we are seriously not mates. Lol I feel like Methuselah now. I’m just kidding. Growing up, Kokoro was one of my favourite snacks, it is crunchy, sweet and spicy
Ofe Akwu
I thought I love banga soup (Niger-Delta style) until I tried Ofe Akwu (Ibo style) and God I have been hooked since then. Ofe Akwu is versatile, affordable and easy to cook. I’m yet to try abak atama soup, basically because of the Adrian fruit (Uyayak). I have a thing for that fruit and I always say to myself It will never go into my soups but hey! never say never.
Corned Beef Stew MAK's Way
What is a standard Nigerian family meal without the classic corned beef stew? This stew is everything, it is versatile and very easy to make. When you are looking to cook a mid week family meal on a low budget, this is your go to meal. It is also a perfect breakfast staple.
