Welcome - Bienvenue - Wetin dey happen

I always steered clear from the kitchen growing up, thinking that cooking was for those “domestic mothers”, but now at the age of 26 I find myself in love with cooking. I think cooking was always in my DNA (floating somewhere between the ribosomes and the golgi bodies). Making homemade pasta sauce at my grandparent’s house might of been the reason why I didn’t like cooking growing up. Spending 10 to 12 hours in the kitchen making homemade pasta sauce from freshly picked tomatoes was hard, I mean all a 9 year old wants to do is play outside with friends, not stirring a larger than life pot simmering tomato sauce. 


So now I find myself constantly cooking, everyday! My preferred food to cook in addition to Italian is Nigerian. Nigerian food is colourful, hearty, nutritious and utterly delicious. If you’ve never tried jollof rice with dodo, suya, boli, bean porridge or pounded yam with egusi soup you have deserted your tastes buds from one of God’s finest foods. Some of the world’s toughest food critics eat from my kitchen - - men, some with large belly’s (those guys know what good food is!).
