Confession: I Love Food .......

As a Nigerian, food is very important to our culture. Nigerian cuisine consists of food items from various (hundreds) ethic group which made up Nigeria, talk about flavors, herbs, spices,  hot chili, colorful and exciting foods.

I have always loved the kitchen and my mum made us watch her while she cook. She will tell us stories about food and everyone just gets excited, giggling and longing for whats in the pot. At an early age, I cooked a delicious pot of soup although I forgot to add palm oil in the process...it still came out nice...well they said .

I have a very passionate relationship with food and I love cooking.  I have always thought that every Nigerian knows
how to cook until I met some that has no clue how jellof rice is made (lets not go into that).

 I can remember that first time I had kidney beans...Oh dear I didn't like it, in fact I binned the food because it was new to me and this is true with most people but now I love trying out new food, you will be amazed the flavors out there.

Food is an opportunity of expressing and acquiring experience, it brings out the creativity in me, it is the act of drawing out different ingredients that make up a meal while thoughtfully combining and understanding the role these ingredients play in bringing a dish together.

I can get bored of studying or watching movies but not with cooking because it gives me this feeling of unending adventure and  relaxation at the same time. The most important achievement in my weight loss journey is that I have managed to balance my love for food, my eating habit and my weight. Before i ate uncontrollably but now it is very different because I eat sensibly.......
