• Danbu Fried Rice

    So I made Danbu-Fried Rice. We had run out of the batch of danbunama I made a few weeks ago. It was such a big hit with everyone that I decided to make some more. My helper had boiled more chicken that I wanted and by the time I realised it was too late. The… Continue Reading

  • Chicken Stew

    Nigerian stew saving dinner since forever! I make sure there is a bowl of stew in the fridge for the days that I don’t have the energy to throw down the usual Sasa’s Kitchen experience.

  • Chicken Soup for the Soul

    I need a hug! One that comes  with a hot soup and huge fluffy arms to keep me  warm inside and out. I imagine the soup  would warm my joints and the fluffy arms would keep the wind away. Bachelor’s (or perhaps it should be Spinster’s!) “Cup a Soup” ad comes to mind, where they promise a hug… Continue Reading
