I’ve been nominated for Food Content Creator of the Year at the TikTok Awards! ❤️
Over the past couple of years, I’ve had opportunities I could only have dreamed of. I’ve met, learnt from and cooked with some incredible people who are truly talented and inspiring
I still couldn’t tell you exactly how I ended up exploring African food. It started on a whim, and somehow it’s become one of the things that brings me the most joy. My favourite part is hearing what these dishes mean to the people who grew up eating them. To everyone who’s shared a recipe, told me how their family makes a dish or welcomed me into their kitchen, thank you. I’ve got so much more to learn, and that’s what makes this feel like only the beginning.
This past year has been tough at times, too. There have been days when getting out of bed or focusing on anything felt like a struggle. The people around me and the things I want to achieve have helped me through those days, and I’m grateful for every one of them. I’m getting stronger and finding my feet again, one day at a time.
If you’d like to vote for me, the link’s in my bio. Thank you for being part of this. It means a lot. ❤️

MILO CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE WITH RASPBERRY AND HIBISCUS COMPOTE🥹😍
This was my take on a classic chocolate soufflé with some Milo. Milo is super popular across West Africa especially in Ghana where I was drinking it almost every day. I filled it with a hibiscus infused raspberry compote which was to die for
- 150g dark chocolate
- 4 large eggs, separated
- Tbsp granulated sugar plus more for prepping ramekins
- 4 tbsp Milo chocolate powder
- 1 tsp **vanilla extract**
- pinch salt
- **powdered sugar for dusting**
1. Start by separating the eggs into egg yolks and egg whites
2. Melt the chocolate in a saucepan, once melted add in the yolks one at a time
3. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks
4. Gradually whisk in half of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture
5. Then transfer the chocolate mixture into the rest of the egg whites
6. Add in the Milo powder and vanilla extract, mix until just combined
7. Pour into two ramekins lined with butter and sugar
8. Bake in the oven at 200*C for 12 minutes

1/4 tsp salt
1 very ripe plantain
1 tsp vanila extract
1 semi-ripe plantain
Sugar to top
1. Start by infusing the cream with the spices on a low heat for around 15 minutes
2. Wrap the very ripe plantain in tin foil and bake for around 12 minutes until soft
3. Puree whilst hot in a high speed blender/processor
4. Separate the eggs to you’re left with just the egg yolks
5. Whisk in sugar until lightly fluffy
6. Slowly pour in 3 ladles of the heated cream whilst continually whisking
7. Return the mixture to the pan and add the plantain puree
8. Place into desired size ramekins
9. Place in a baking dish with hot water around the edges and bake at 160*C for around 30 minutes until registers 77*C internal temperature
10. Allow to cool for an hour, top with 1/2 tsp sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch

Is this best Afro-Fusion episode yet??👀🇳🇬🇬🇧
Afro-Fusion | Episode 9 | United Kingdom | Beef suya pie
Once again I teamed up with a good friend of mine Nathan to put together a dish that represent two cuisines close to my heart: West African and British
That being said we made a Suya beef pie which was absolutely delicious. Spicy, meaty and fragrant it was something we were very proud of :)
Ingredients:
For the jollof base:
1 red pepper
1 red onion
1 tomato
2 scotch bonnets
3 cloves garlic
Knob of ginger
600g good quality stewing steak
1 red onion (sliced)
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsp suya powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder
500ml beef stock
2 potatoes
Pre-made puff pastry
Egg wash
(1) Prepare the jollof base: roast the vegetables listed above at 200*C for 15 minutes. Blend into a course paste
(2) Sear the stewing steak on both sides to render the fat and for a golden crust
(3) Add in the sliced red onions, sauté for 10 minutes and add the flour; cook out for 2-3 minutes on a low heat
(4) Add in the spices to warm through for 30 seconds
(5) Add in the jollof base cook down further for 5 minutes, add in stock
(6) Cook the mixture for at least an hour until reduced and beef is almost tender, add in potatoes
(7) Allow to cool slightly before lining into a pastry dish
(8) Place into a pastry dish, top with puff pastry, trim to fit edges and brush with egg wash
(9) Bake at 200*C for 20-25 minutes

1g saffron leaves (bloomed in water)
2 cups lamb stock (substitute with water)
1 cinnamon stick
1 large carrot

2. Brown on both sides in a large tagine pot
3. Add in the onion, garlic and ginger; sauté for 8 minutes
4. Go in with the spices, toast for 30 seconds
5. Add in the stock along with the cinnamon stick, saffron water and carrot battons

Afro-Fusion | Episode 9 | Colombia | Red red stew with aji and patacones 👀
This one was comfort food in a bowl and an absolute combination. Colombia and West Africa share a few more similarities than you may think. Especially their love for plantain and spice! Forget the usual fried plantain we’re swapping it with a Colombian favourite; patacones. It’s a twice fried plantain thats flattened and top with salt.
Ingredients:
60ml red palm oil
black eyed peas
1 large white onion
3 garlic cloves
1 tbsp fresh ginge1 scotch bonnet
3 ripe tomatoes
1.5 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tbsp ground crayfish

Was this a good idea??👀
Suya Steak Tartare with Plantain chips 😍
I took the classic French dish many of you either love or hate and put another African spin on it. Instead of the classic potato chip I swapped it to a plantain chip. Then as always to spice things up a little bit I topped it with suya spice to add a tad of kick
Ingredients:
150g beef fillet
1 tsp dijon mustard
juice of half a lemon
2 tbsp chives (finely chopped)
1/2 scotch bonnet (minced)
1 shallot (brunoise)
1/2 tsp suya powder to top
1 semi ripe plantain (into very thin slices)
Neutral oil to fry

This is OUR idea of comfort food 👀🇯🇲🌍
What would you give this plate a rating out of 10?
In our opinion not many things can beat it. A super cheesyyyyy Mac and cheese, slow cooked short rib, jollof rice, mango salsa and dumplings were all a match made in heaven!
Ingredients:
For the Mac and Cheese:
4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 cups of milk
2 cups of cheese (I chose cheddar and Red Leicester)
1 cup of mozzarella
300g Mac and cheese (cooked until al dente)
1. Make a roux with the butter and flour, cook on a medium low heat until the rawness is removed
2. Add in the spices for 30 seconds to temper then slowly add in the milk
3. Add in all the cheese and combine until the cheese has melted
4. Then go in with the pasta, place into a baking dish, top with more cheese and bake until golden brown
For the short rib:
3 spring onions
1 red onion
5 garlic cloves
Knob of ginger
2 scotch bonnet
1 tsp browning
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt
Juice of one lime
2 tbsp white vinegar
4 short ribs
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups beef stock
1 red and white onion
1 scotch bonnet
1. Marinate the ribs in the jerk marinade for at least 3 hours
2. Sear on both sides in a saucepan
3. Add in tomato paste and rest of the jerk marinade, cook out for 3 minutes
4. Add in the stock, onions, scotch bonnet and bay leaf
5. Cook on a medium heat until very tender (around 3 hours)
For the dumplings:
2 cups self rising flour
1 tsp salt
Hot water (gradually add in until desired texture)
