Hummus is an Arab spread or dip made from chickpeas and olive oil ,lemon juice,salt and garlic. I had an idea to make a dip like that but from a specie of beans called "Ewa Oloyin". This beans is so scarce in Abuja where I live and I usually wait for my mum to send it to me from Ibadan. Some people claim that they sell it but when I taste it, its not as sweet as what I grew up eating (not a big fan of beans though,lol). I finally met a woman at the market who said hers was the original, I bought just a little to be sure of its taste,well it was actually the beans I know. Enough of the stories.lets cook Here's to The New Nigerian Cookery, I am identifying with a serious Nigerian culinary expert who runs Dooney's Kitchen who is so creative with cooking. She also puts a twist to meals and they rock!When this idea dropped, I said 'yasssss' ,this is dedicated to the New Nigerian Cookery.

So i've been so busy and my blog has been on my mind a lot.I started a cooking class for Mums especially creative meals. you know how kids tend to get bored with meals, especially their school lunch.Kids need those interesting and creative meals to make them look forward to the next meal, Asides they need meals that support their brain health. The first class held 29th November, it really was a fun class where we discussed health benefits of foods for kids, and made certain yummy meals. Some kids came with their mums and totally loved the meals....Now what better evidence do you need to convince you that the kids would love the meals?.A big thank you to those kids. Please feed your eyes on some of the pics and write us to enroll in subsequent classes. +2348091001319 Set up...gotta be chic...for supermummies Registration kids were not left out yes ,we had a man in the class We also had  teenagers learning b4 becoming  mums hmmn, passion ...

Rice is a staple in my Country Nigeria, this should encourage versatility in preparing it . One of the tasty recipes I try when im tired of Jollof, fried,coconut rice ,thai rice....name it....is Local Rice. I guess what makes it local is the use of palm oil,locust beans,dry fish, crayfish,basil (Efirin),ewa oloyin(Honey beans). It really does have different versions. I make use of any local fresh ingredient I have at home. Uncooked Rice Palm oil Iru (locust bean) Ewa Oloyin(honey beans) or black eyed beans Dry Fish (washed and de-boned) Onions(sliced) Freshly ground pepper (boiled)-you can do without it if you have dry pepper Basil leaves (Efirin) Beef Stock stock/bouillon cubes Soak the already washed dry fish in hot water, rinse the basil leaves and shred, set aside. I often start off with cooking the beans in one pot. I parboil the rice in another pot. Wash the excess starch off the rice and put some water and return it to the cooker. Add the palm oil, you want t...

My first attempt at making an apple pie was on my Wedding Anniversary. I made up my mind that the day's menu would wind up with a home made dessert. Well, After work that day, I started building my dessert Its not difficult as some would expect. in fact the ingredients are home friendly and you don't need to run around to exotic stores looking for them.                                                                                                       My Ingredients.  ...

Puff puff is an all time favorite Nigerian Snack. Different countries have a recipe with some sort of fried dough, the names are just different, some of them taste just like puffpuff so its like a global recipe in my opinion.  Funny enough ,in the midst of all my cooking escapades, I never went out of my way to make it myself till this year when some of my friends sent me puffpuff pictures,they know themselves,lol. I looked up different ways of doing it as people have different versions, my conclusion is that you become a pro at doing it each time you try. that's my story,with each attempt,I became better at it. my tip is to be observant with each trial and you'll be a puff puff pro soon. Ingredients 2.5 cups of all purpose flour (US measuring cups) 2 teaspoons of yeast 1/4 cup of sugar 1'5 cups of warm water pinch of salt Put the yeast in water and allow to stand for 10 minutes, add the sugar to the yeast also. in another bowl,mix the flour,pinch of s...
