This vegan egusi soup will probably last you less than two days, it's that good. I grew up not liking egusi soup, in fact I only started loving it when I became plant-based. My mother is an avid fan of egusi. Egusi is number 1 on her soup list with abula soup being in close second. With that said, I grew up with egusi always in our meal rotation, however, I always opted out by eating my fufu with ila (okra soup), or ewedu (jute leave soup). Fast forward to my plant-based days, my mother made me a batch of mushroom egusi soup and I was immediately hooked by the smokey, rich, and nutty flavors of the egusi mixed with the savoriness of the peppers. Add the umami flavors of the eru. MAN, I ...

Vegan Koki Recipe - A Delicious Cameroonian Dish
This Koki Recipe is sure to be your go-to weekend breakfast Koki is a steamed bean cake usually made with either peeled honey beans or black-eyed peas. For those familiar with moi moi, the Nigerian version does not deviate too far from the Cameroon version. The biggest difference is the addition of palm oil, cocoyam leaves (or in our case spinach leaves), and the way it is wrapped prior to steaming. When I first experienced koki, I was visiting my good friend Feh, my Cameroonian older sister. I call it an experience because of the presentation. When served koki, I was amazed by the spherical base and the narrow top. This koki recipe is sure to pique anyone's ...
Yummy Nigerian Obe Ata Stew - Vegan Recipe
Skip the Meat in your Obe Ata with this Substitute Obe ata or ata din din is a traditional Nigerian food typically found in plenty of Yoruba households.

Thai Green Curry Recipe & Memories from Thailand
You can make Thai curry at the fraction of what you think it would cost Thai green curry is probably one of my favorite Thai dishes, after pad thai. So when my friend had an idea of going to Thailand for her 30th birthday, I couldn't say no. In February I got to visit the beautiful country of Thailand with some amazing ladies. This was the first time I've been that far east, so I was not looking forward to the flight nor time difference. However, if I was asked to do it all over again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. You must go. Other than the food, the scenery has to be the best part of Thailand. We visited both Bangkok and Phuket and each area had their own feel and look. Bangkok is ...
