I love Pawpaw. Love. I may not have it often but I’ll often go on a spree, not shopping mind you but cooking with it. Whether Salsa, or Chutney or Sauteed, I’ve come to love it. See the crunchy golden bottoms; the soft, craggy tops, the aroma of vanilla, lime and warmth…Thank you, Jesus. This...
…and tips on how to make the best burger. I mean how can you go wrong with minced beef, suya spice, vegetables and Fried Yam on the side. So now you know how to make shape a patty and store it, here’s how to cook it. And serve it of course. To serve, we had...
Once you have your peeled & prepped soursop, you can make a quick ‘cream’. All that’s required? Blitzing in the blender or food processor to ‘unify’ the texture. I tend to blend with a bit of water but any liquid would do. I store the blended mixture and use it in a wealth of ways...
Made with Agbalumo leather and pancake mix. There’s no doubt about whether or not the orange-plum coloured fruit is Agbalumo. You taste it, its very essence and you see it.

And I stuffed the seeds and skin of my dearest Agbalumo into the bottle. Miraculously, the cork slid right...
Remember that easy to make poached chicken? Here are a few ways you should be using it. Thank me later 🙂 Just think Soup it! Sauce it! Bake it!…or something along those lines. There are a million other ideas, but here are just four of them. Tip: To warm up a pack of cold/ frozen chicken, I...
She made it up, inspired by ‘Sweet Kiwi‘. We got home from ‘shopping’ on Saturday and J, Daughter #1 made up a glass, showing off our recently acquired glassware. It turns out (via Google) that these glasses are actually parfait glasses. Who knew 🙂 Anyway, it’s a simple 3 ‘ingredient’ dessert or breakfast and in-between....
