Happy New Year from me to you

Last year, I love saying that already, even though last year was only 1 hour 10minutes ago. I  thoroughly enjoyed being part of your lives and your kitchens. I thoroughly enjoyed the feedback, the comments, the questions, pictures of your food, your triumphs, your challenges, everything food related. I could feel your excitement leaping off the words on the screen. Some made me cry, some made me laugh some made me feel so overwhelmed because I never thought I could make such an impact in people’s lives doing what I love to do. It is not as if I am curing cancer or eradicating world poverty, but you guys have made me feel like I am making a difference and I thank you for letting me into your homes.

2014 is finally here, and with what we have achieved in the past year, be prepared for the roller coaster that is Dooney’s Kitchen. 2013 was the year of birth, and I have grown so much as a cook, a writer and a food photographer thanks to you guys. I have now taking to baking, which has been such a delight, so much easier than I thought thanks to So You Think You Can Cook, so be on the look out for many more baking recipes. One of the things I said goodbye to in 2013 was being a disaster baker.

I welcome you on this journey of mine, with you in the front row seat. I wish and pray all your wishes and dreams come true this year, with many more Kitchen Triumphs and Marvels. Have a Blessed 2014

Best Wishes

Dunni Obata

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.

    Hello Dooney,

    Happy New Year to you too!
    Thank you so much for making me rediscover the joy of cooking. Sometimes we get carried away with our everyday lives that we forget the simple joy of food. We become so worried about accomplishing our goals and cooking becomes too mundane that we forget that when rightly done it can be therapeutic and comforting to the soul.
    I have decided to go into 2014 with optimistic expectations and I hope you will do the same. I hope better things will continue to come out of this passion of yours you have decided to share will me and all the other fellow foodies.
    Thank you for taking your time responding to my emails you are truly an amazing lady. You have inspired me to pursue my own passion; one never knows when it becomes that ‘IT’ that completes one’s life.
    Thanks once again and so you know you have become a friend in my head!
    Eating my way through Dooney’s Kitchen continues………

    Happy New Year! May the year be filled with joy, peace and love for us all in Jesus name. I must say my fried rice tasted so good on new year’s day; I had 3 servings. The secret you ask? Putting my seasoned mix-veg in the fridge for a few hours before frying and cooking my rice. Try it you will thank me later :). Thank you Dunni for the simple tips on how to make cooking easy and food tastier!

      Amen and Amen Ajoke, I wish you the same and much more. If you check my fried rice recipe, I already put the seasoned mixed veg in the fridge before cooking.

            Hi dooney. Thanks for your reply. Egbo is cooked maize I think . I haven’t tried it before, but it’s one of my husband favorite food before we got marriage. He asked me last night if I can make it.

            I will find out and get back to you. Egbo is another name for adalu. It is basically beans and corn. Here is my recipe for adalu. http://www.dooneyskitchen.com/2013/06/10/beans-and-sweetcorn-porridge-adalu/

    Hello Dooney
    Egbo is cooked corn (crushed dried corn kernels) eaten with fried tomato sauce. Thanks for the great job you’re doing. Today I’m trying out Tostones and Adalu.

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.
