Dooney’s Live Instagram Christmas Special –

Yikes, my Christmas Menu is coming so late, and I truly apologise. I had a game plan for this weekend, and it is Sunday already and only 10% of what I planned to do has been done. Remember in the “washing bitter leaves with a food processor post HERE, where I mentioned how Le body has a way of revolting and proverbially shutting down as a way of telling me, I have over worked myself, well I probably shouldn’t have written that down so close to Christmas, because I got a good reminder of Friday, and have been tottering around the house since. Hoping to re-start the engines soon because Funmi and I have a game plan for a merry Christmas dinner. I hope you are listening le body, because I need you to be working at optimum capacity by Christmas eve. Hehehehe. I started this blog in 2013, so this makes my second Christmas Menu. I am going to TV Chef’s way this Christmas by sharing you my very own Christmas Menu. Not something I thought of to write and share, but what yours truly and my friend Funmi will be cooking for Christmas, and subsequently, next year hopefully having more people in my life, I will continue this tradition. I hope you will be inspired for your Christmas Menu. You can join in the cooking virtually on Instagram (remember to follow @dooneyskitchen) because I am going to be posting pictures of everything, from the prepping to the cooking to the finished product. At least if we don’t have tv cameras yet for live Christmas cooking like Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay, we will manage the next best thing – Instagram. You can also ask me questions live on Instagram too, for your own cooking and I will do my best to answer. Let us make this a Dooney’s Kitchen Live Instagram Christmas Special. Again, please follow my page @dooneyskitchen. Thank you

Here is my Christmas Menu

Breakfast – Christmas breakfast is just as important as the lunch or dinner itself. Big Oladunni always put on a show after we got back from worship. It was a way of getting the engines ready for the huge Christmas feat. So, for brekkie we will be having a fry up.

  • Yamarita fries with spicy Ata din din
  • Agege French Toast with a twist –  watch out for my twist on Instagram
  • #fitfam Akara with cherry tomatoes and shallots and a flavoured oil drizzle

Christmas Lunch – Main and Dessert

  • Spiced 3 bird roast – Pheasant/Guinea fowl, stuffed inside a duck and both stuffed inside a goose. I will be using Jamie Oliver’s recipe with my own inflections
  • Stuffing and Gravy
  • Jollof rice
  • Fried rice
  • Nigerian Chopped Salad
  • Native Yam Pottage
  • Ofe Nsala and Pounded Yam
  • Afang Soup – still undecided
  • Treats from Marks and Spencer – our cheat for the day
  • Funmi’s Key Lime Cheesecake

Festive Drinks –

  • Punch
  • Chapman
  • Maltini

Christmas Dinner – if anyone can still has space

  • Pan seared Plantain and Eggs –
  • Grilled bird roast Sandwich

Remember to follow on Instagram for all the details. Merry Christmas everybody.

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.

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.
