All made by my own fair hands
The cassava, like yam, is staple in the Liberian and Sierra Leonean diet, as is rice. It’s never really been a part of my diet, having only ever had it in the form of cassava fufu, which I’m not too keen on. Though during spring this year I rediscovered it and became a little […]

I think corn on cob could be my second favourite vegetable (in case you’ve forgotten, okra is number one for me). Crunchy, juicy and so much sweeter tasting when on the cob and well worth that extra floss to dislodge the kernels from your teeth afterwards. Ha ha ha!

Jacato (known to others as garden egg or African eggplant) are part of the aubergine family, though much smaller, creamy white in colour and a little more bitter than your purple aubergine. You’ll be familiar with jacato if you’ve tried my recipe for jacato babaganoush or you’ve been to one of my supper clubs (returning early […]

Yay! The spring sunshine is finally here (being a typical Brit, you know we always have to start a conversation by talking about the weather) and I’m hoping it stays so dishes like this can be enjoyed al fresco! I’ve told you of my love of okra before but second to that is corn on […]

I’m not sure why I didn’t share this recipe in time for pancake day last year when I came up with it, or even why since then, but here it is in time for this year. Now when it comes to pancakes I like to keep it simple going with a classic batter, thin British/crepe […]

You ask, ‘What is gari?’. It still to this day astounds me that this one root vegetable can be prepared in so many different ways and thus taking on a different form, creating an entirely different dish. Each form tasting so different by solely just boiling, drying, grating, frying, mashing or pounding it and you […]

I’m baaaack! I know I know, I’ve been (very) lax and neglected posting any recipes for months now – sorry!! Got a bit caught up with launching Cham Cham Hot Pepper Sauce, having stalls at Africa at Spitalfields and Well Street Market Christmas Festival, whilst still hosting a few supper clubs at mine and at […]

With summer coming (when the sun will definitely shine more than it has done this spring) this is the perfect chicken dish to start the barbecuing season off with. Pepper chicken is another dish that reminds me of all those family parties we attended growing up, where there were tray upon trays of this nutty […]

I came up with this dish for Cham Cham Supper Club as an alternative for those non – pork lovers not in favour of breaded trotters served with Mama Saga’s Gravy – oh how they missed out on a treat!!!! Though those guests were still lucky enough to sample Mama’s Gravy as I served it […]

Baking okra changes the slimy consistency that most people hate (but I love) so I am hoping this recipe will convert a few people and have them chowing down on this gorgeous vegetable.

Yesssss, spring is here!! Have you not noticed?? It’s all us Brits seem to be talking about, as well as barbecues and longer brighter day in the park guzzling wine and beer! It’s exciting – no rain and all sunshine (ahem sporadic spells of sunshine and still some rain), and no work….oh, we still have […]

This is one of many dishes I have been working on and created for my supper club, Cham Cham. I spent last weekend doing a load of recipe development with my family attending as the official Nim’s Din. Tasting Committee, of course. And boy were my family spoilt for choice!! I made yam and […]
