London-based food company, I Go Chop, recently launched a home delivery app (I Go Chop Express) which allows hungry customers to order Nigerian street food straight to their door. To celebrate this launch, they sent me a brilliant box packed with vegan food and goodies, along with a discount code that I can share with you - vegannigerian - to get 15% off your order.
Download the app on iTunes or Google Play.
With all that glorious food suddenly at my disposal, I decided to film a mukbang video for this week's YouTube upload. A mukbang is a style of video where an individual eats a large amount of food in one sitting while speaking to an audience through the camera. A rather weird phenomenon that has taken over the internet in recent years.
This video is quite different from others I've shared previously, and I suppose it was fun trying something new. Aside from watching me eat, you'll get to find out a bit more about me as I answer some Nigerian-tag style questions. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Vegan in Utrecht, Netherlands
Veggieworld festival in Utrecht took place on the 9th and 10th of March this year, and I was invited to lead a cooking workshop by the festival organisers, ProVeg. So off I went with my little cabin bag and the ingredients I'd need to make two of my favourite recipes from my cookbook - choc chip plantain pancakes and sweetcorn/plantain fritters.
The video below captures some of the highlights from my trip. Give it a watch to get a glimpse of the festival, my workshop, and some delicious vegan food finds (particularly useful for anyone thinking of travelling to Utrecht and wondering where to find the best vegan food)!
Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for more content, and stay tuned for this Sunday's video. It's going to be...different.

Pounded Yam Pancakes | Vegan and Gluten-Free
When it comes to sweet breakfasts, pancakes absolutely top the list for me and with pancake day just around the corner (as well as the collaborative pancake party I'm hosting on Tuesday), I've been experimenting with yet another variation that is not only vegan but gluten-free as well. Gluten-free pancakes can be tricky. You have the texture to consider (we only care for light, fluffy pancakes round these parts), and how well the pancakes hold shape, etc.
Check out the video below to see how it's made, and let me know if this is something you'll be trying for yourself!
Ingredients
(makes 6-8)
- 1/2 cup poundo flour (click here to buy)
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 and 1/2 cups soya milk
- Sunflower oil
Place the flour, sugar, salt and soya milk in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes.
Heat some sunflower oil in a large frying pan and fry the pancake batter for a couple of minutes on medium heat. Flip and brown on the other side.
Drain on some kitchen paper. Serve with your favourite toppings (berries, syrup, bananas, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, jam, lemon, cinnamon... etc.)
