Favorite means person or things that is well treated in a special way, like or give preferences.

So I will say that I am the favorite chef in my family, I started and learn how to cook different types of food through my mum and my Aunty, and when I was a teenage I started going to different occasions places like marriage ceremony and burial places to help people that I know,at this occasion I watched, see and learn how to cooked different traditional recepes.now I used to help people in cooking when they have occasions

I used to cooked delicious and palatables foods that could make my family and anybody mouth longing for more ,I prepare delicious traditional dishes like afang ,editan melon,okra and atama soup,ekpangkukwa and the different type of

rice like coconut, jellof rice. Palm oils rice with pumpkin leaf, we call it ( mtn rice)

When preparing those dishes I follow the normal procedures and also uses ingredients.

AFANG SOUP

I buy the leaves from the market or at yes get from the village, wash and slice it then I get food stuffs like water leaf,meat,stock fish,perewinkle not forgetting that,Then I wash my pot place on the fire put my stock fish and other ingredients into the pot and season it later on I put my water leaf and the afang which I pounded and then my fresh Afang soup is ready.

EDITAN

I plug the leaves from the stem,sliced and ready to cook with my cooking ingredients but my editan is cooked in a different way cause I like it bitter than washing off all the chlorophyll which gives the body the needed nutrient ,I might decide if to used water leaf for it or Palm fruits any of it is very delicious as long as it goes down the stomach with a hot fufu.
