    Savory Crepes

    I was at my friend’s house this weekend and I woke up dreaming of pancakes. We went to the kitchen to look for ingredients and it turned out that she didn’t have baking powder I needed to make the American style pancakes I was craving so I settled for Savory crepes instead.

    Chicken and Shrimp Pancakes

    My mum was always the one that played around with her food and created recipes like Chicken and Shrimp Pancakes. We never understood it but we went along with it.

I was watching a documentary on Netflix about a chef’s journey through some parts of Asia and they were making gnocchi

    Nigerian Fish Stew

    Last week Friday, Afrolems was featured on CNN’s article on food bloggers to follow. I was in bed when the article was published and I saw a few notifications on my blog from CNN. You can imagine I jumped out of bed, rubbed my eyes a few times, screamed, pranced and jumped then settled to

    Potato Casserole

    I am not certain why the name tasty fiesta was chosen to name this potato casserole dish in Nigeria? Anyone care to venture an explanation? At first when I used to see fiesta come up in my search terms, I thought it was the Jamaican dessert called fiesta. Alas, I realized being that the searches
