In reply to Mitch. Peppers.... chillies (scotch bonnet, habanero etc)

I’m liking your recipes… Don’t get much Nigerian food in Australia… I use garlic in almost everything I cook and ginger almost as much… If you’re new to garlic and ginger just use one clove for a meal big enough to feed four adults… Once you get used to it you will be adding lots more… Also with your breakfast recipes you say use peppers (egg/yam sauce specifically) ..does that mean chillies or do you mean capsicums (which in America is referred to as peppers)… I’m Australian and we don’t actually refer to anything as peppers so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be using…thanks heaps

In reply to Victor. I really want to start eating healthy, but I thought it was Impossible in Nigerian. But I can tell that it isn't hard at all, just requires efforts.

In reply to Ejiogu Loveline. Blend the vegetables and add to your stew. You can bring out a portion of the stew for this if you don't want to add the veggies to the entire pot. I hope this helps. Thank you!

In reply to Love. It is possible, there are always species of many good plants that are not edible. But I am guessing you won't be seeing those in Nigerian market.

I used to hate putting ginger and garlic in my food. when I tried it,trust me,its lovely. Those that don’t like using it,it’s probably because you have been using it the wrong way.you don’t need much. just pound it,add little water,and seive it,to get the taste.Thank you for the tips

I am a big fan of garlic and ginger. I blend both with lemon and drink the juice all day to raise my PH level. It is also good to lower blood sugar in diabetic patients. Ginger and garlic in jellof rice with a topup of veggies are good to our guts. Thank you ma for this writeup.

Rice ke? Not that healthy.
Lean meat is also quite healthy too.
Amala is a great option, but portion is important.
Salads I agree.
Moi Moi is great too.

I expected to see a lot more healthier foods.
