Flatbread from Scratch
If you missed me making flatbread from scratch yesterday on Instagram live, you have no one but yourself to blame. I also choose the path of forgiveness which is why I am here uploading a recipe for it. This recipe only requires three ingredients on a base level. If you would like to make it
Plantain Pancakes
Yesterday i went live with lost in lagos and we made plantain pancakes. It is safe to say that in Tannaz’s house, she is never going back to regular pancakes. Sometimes, when people here plantain pancakes, they turn their noses up at it. I promise it’s good. It’s better than Mosa guys! I know it
Glazed Danwake
Hear me out my Northern Nigerian friends, we can do more to danwake like glazing it. This glazed danwake recipe came as a cry for complexity in flavours of an interesting meal.

Garri Tulle
This Garri Tulle is barely a real recipe but sometimes I wander into the chef portion of Youtube and find interesting things to play with. This garri tulle is one of them.

Beans and Plantain Moi Moi
Crowdsourcing ideas is one of my favourite things about blogging because it brings recipes like beans and plantain moi moi out of the blue. I wish I could take credit for it but in this case, it was @fitnigeria on Instagram that provided this gem. I only offered to cook it as an experiment. A
Honey Beans Pasta from Scratch
Honey Beans pasta is definitely top of my list to keep exploring this year. When I tell you I need to release myself from regular pasta, please believe me. I also have a few friends that can stand to gain from this recipe. If you have gluten issues, this might just be the pasta recipe
Ayamase Pasta Recipe
You had to know this Ayamase pasta was going to feature if I had gone the stockfish route. There’s just so much depth in flavour with that bleached palm oil. I don’t care what anyone says. That flavour characterises Nigerian soul food. It really does hit different. I have played with a few Ayamase derivative
