RECIPES

I love cooking!

Cooking is a big part of my life. I grew up in a family where we had communal family dinners every night. I watched my late grandmother, auntie and mother prepare delicious African dishes from scratch everyday.

Some of my favorite memories are linked to the times I spent in the kitchen. I would peel onions, cut peppers, tomatoes, and greens. These activities were to make a variety of traditional meals.

My grandmother, auntie and mother did not write down their recipes, unfortunately. I have been working tirelessly over the years to replicate some of my favorite recipes of theirs. I have decided to write down my recipes for my children. Those recipes are part of their heritage. I am so excited that my children are interested in collecting my family recipes.

I am planning on sharing some of those family recipes on here with you. I will make videos of me cooking those meals. It will be helpful for those of you who want to try replicating them.
