THE BEGINNING...


This isn't my first attempt at blogging. I thought i would start this blog on the 1st of January (as all i did was stay home, cook and eat after swearing not to even put water to boil on said day), but somehow i didn't. I come from a family of caterers, my mother trained in Germany and my aunts more locally. At home we have a floor to ceiling book shelf of whatever recipe, cuisine or baked goods might titillate your palette but i have gone the other way; i read the recipe and go on and do it my way. Guess that's why i can't bake cos you must adhere to procedure or mess it up. I've always been one to scribble; i still to this day find doodles on scraps of paper here and there and wonder what state of mind (if at all within my senses) i must have been. But like all things if there is no real passion, after a while you just stop. 


I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT FOOD! You need to see me, hold a conversation with me, read my tweets and most of all visit me to know just how much. Even though my kitchen is no bigger than a match box, I've been told that "miracles come out of it" and i do believe it cos my friends don't bullshit! I do have some challenges with making deserts (and baking like i said earlier) but savoury food is my thing. Anything high in flavour with and extra kick of (cameroun/ghana/who really knows what its called) pepper is the one my heart loves and i have an extensive spice rack!


Last year i decided to follow in the footsteps of the women in my family and incorporate my very own food business. I have been taking orders from friends for almost 2 years; catering home meals and home birthdays parties, intimate valentine dinner of my friend Udy but i wanted more. I registered Crave's Corner and on Thursday 2nd February 2012 i had my Certificate in my hand. So join me as i take you through my kitchen experiments, successes and flops as well as other outdoor culinary experiences; from bukkas to fine restaurants.


A dear friend who loves food just as much as i do and who encouraged me to start this will be posting here as well. Cheers to great food!
