FAQ

I used to live in the busy capital city London, I was born and raised there. I used to love it and say i would never leave, but I finally fell out of love. Now I live in a tiny village in the countryside in South West France. You definitely can’t beat the culinary scene in London, there are so many gastronomical gems! However, Nouvelle Aquitaine the region I live in now is one of the best for food in France, home to the likes of Bordeaux, Bayonne and Biarritz. Landes my department is duck country we have several duck farms in our village! If you have not yet visited France definitely think about visiting Nouvelle Aquitaine.

There are so many resources online to set you up on the right track to start your first blog! I particularly recommend Create and go and Alison Lindstrom on youtube. Their videos really helped me and made me take the final plunge and buy that domain name!

Most of my favourite recipes are either French or Nigerian, I love the challenge and complexity they present. Whether Coq au Vin or Egusi Soup both delicious 1 pot recipes with delicious ingredients and complex methods. Check out my Nigerian and French cuisine pages.

Butter……Okay fine there are some other ingredients that I love – Top 5 would be chilli, garlic, onion, white wine and coriander! (look away coriander traitors).

My number one food of all time is rice! I love rice, I grew up on rice, Nigerian’s love rice! It is a versatile and tasty ingredient that can be turned into so many things! I could eat rice everyday and never get bored! If you have spent enough time on my blog you will know I also love my meat & fish and couldn’t live without it!
