Cookies of The World by Food52: #26 Nigerian Coconut Cookie Crisps
Last week, I received this email and my eyes were awash. ‘My friend forwarded your recipe/blog on the coconut cookies. First of all, I remember those! Second, Peugeot 504 – I hadn’t thought of that car in forever and I remember getting squished in the back seat as well! Third, my dad worked for the State Department […]
Twenty (20) Things to Know & Make With Agbalumo
Last season (December 2014 – April 2015), I ‘discovered’ other aspects and characteristics of Agbalumo that hitherto were unknown.

The day stayed grey, chiffon veils in the distance, clouding ever so delicately my view. Except when I came across the Agbalumo, it wasn’t far […]
Friday Cocktails – Tangelo Mimosa
When life gives you Tangelos and Champagne, make mimosas. I’d never had a mimosa before I made this version. I’ve heard about that them as perfectly paired with Brunch but I’d never ever tried them. I always thought they were similar to Buck’s Fizz and they are, save for the fact that the proportions of […]
Kitchen Butterfly for Hire – The Tradversary Dinner
I hosted a dinner last Sunday – a ‘catered’ event. Though it was at mine, the guests weren’t :). The ‘hosts’ – the gorgeous Kingsley and Osemhen of Eureka Naija wanted to celebrate their 1st year’s ‘Trad-versary’. {See some photos of the gorgeous Traditional wedding} We agreed on a 3-course menu including drinks, which was slightly adapted to add […]
