Announcing Dooney’s Kitchen YouTube Channel

It took me long enough eh? As brave as I am with a lot of things in life, some things still scare me shitless, and shooting videos ranks high on the list. I have this HD all singing, all dancing DSLR camera that I have been getting better at shooting pictures with. I bravely moved over to shooting in Manual, which took me months to do. A very kind pro photographer was brought across my path at a friend’s baby shower and he kindly showed me what to do using his very expensive full frame camera. I had to run home to get my camera so I could practice. I was shocked at what I could do with it. Every serious photographer shoots in Manual and I have been afraid of venturing into unknown. Not any more. The pictures you are going to be seeing in the next couple of weeks/months, will have an edge to them. I am also stepping into the deep end with photo editing. Scary stuff right there, but I am determined. Enough of looking at pictures on foreign food blogs and thinking why, can’t mine look like that.

Before I ramble off, finally I got the nerve to shoot a video. It is not that often I have someone else in the kitchen with me holding a camera. 99% of all the pictures on the blog, were taken my by me. So last Sunday, I had this rare opportunity, so I told A, to hold the camera and shoot a video. It was quite the experience, especially the unexpected help we got from my friend’s son. Listen out for him and my laughter. We could have spliced up the other takes to form a perfect video, but I said no. We will use this one. Years down the line when I have TV shows, I want to look back and laugh at the very first video I uploaded unto the internet. I have zero experience with video editing, like zilch, but I am willing to learn. My colleague told me even kids in primary school can do it. The kick in the backside that I needed. My tripod and I are going to get very friendly. It has been sitting in my cupboard for months now.

So, don’t despise the days of humble beginnings, this is my very first video on the YouTube Channel:

About Dooney

Dooney is the blogger, recipe developer and photographer for Dooney's Kitchen. I spend my days trying to figure out creative ways to redefine Nigerian food, either by creating a new dish itself using ingredients in ways that have never been used before, or changing the approach to Nigerian cooking using kitchen gadgets.

    Congratulations Dooney, I know what you mean- shooting in raw, it gets easier as you practice. That is what has worked for me. African food can be beautifully presented as any other food. You can do it! I am also working on a you tube channel- Really Scary!

    at long last………….. I have never subscribed to a you tube channel ( don’t even know how ) but this will surely be my first.
    coincidentally my sister just asked me today if there was a way to see how to do pounded yam in food processor live and I told her to manage the photos and voila this your post……looking forward to many, many, many, more videos while we wait for your TV show 🙂

    Dunni,

    God bless you real good for your labor of love! I am a huge fan of yours! Your recipes have taken my cooking to a whole different level! And not just me, but my girlfriends also whom I have recommended your blog to.

    That being said, I kindly ask that you please refrain from using profane words on your blog. Please don’t be offended by my request. Words like “shitless” or anything related to “shit” aren’t graceful and becoming. I love your work and I’m a huge fan. Again, God bless.

Nigerian food, is bold, multi faceted, rich, colourful, spicy and with varied nuances, as you move from tribe to tribe. To describe Nigerian cooking, one would say it is fiercely traditional and somewhat dogmatic, but Dooney’s Kitchen proposes to simplify methods and steps that have been passed from generation to generation whilst also challenging some of these methods using Technology. The New Nigerian Cookery isn’t just about creating a New Nigerian Kitchen, or should we say a more technology aware Nigerian cooking experience, but it encompasses redefining recipes too. Come along on the journey, and welcome to one of the best online resources for Nigerian food.
