I went AWOL for a month

Hello guys, gosh I haven’t done this in a month now. Last post was Aug 20th, yikes. I really should have kept you all updated but I was gunning for the surprise factor. Things didn’t go according to plan and something that should have been done and dusted, I am on the 3rd iteration. Frustrating I tell you, but I can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

What is this iteration you say. Okay, okay, I confess, the site is under re-design. It has taken more work than I ever thought possible and I would like you guys to please bear with me while we put up the finishing touches to what will definitely be pleasantly surprising. You know I did hint that something was coming in September, well September will gracefully draw to a close and you will see the new and improved Dooney’s Kitchen. I wish I could give you a sneak peek, but I have been advised against it. Dooney’s Kitchen is setting the trend again, and best to do the grand reveal when it is all done.

So, what else has been happening, well I got to meet the talented Banke Meshida Lawal. We chatted on Instagram, she told me she would be in London with her family and she needed food. My very first VIP Client. The pressure was on, but I delivered. Banke is such a sweetheart. The amazing feedback she gave on her Instagram page, and I mean in Nigerian colloquial terms #feedbackoflife has opened so many doors for me for my meal drop off service, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. The people I have come to meet and cook for, people ordinarily I wouldn’t have had access to, all thanks to Banke. The ministry is moving and I am now more confident with long-term plans for the future.

Oooooh, something also amazing happened, well it was kept under wraps too for the grand reveal. I was commissioned to provide pictures and recipes for the first ever Knorr Nigeria site. This was a project I worked on months ago and was waiting patiently to see the site. Very proud moment I tell you. To see my work associated with a brand like Knorr. People, Dodorishi is now legit. Knorr Nigeria accepted the signature Dooney’s Kitchen dish. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be accepted to be honest. I googled dodorishi to pass the recipe on to a reader and saw the Knorr ng site link. I screamed so loudly that evening, I must have scared my neighbours terribly. A day to be remembered, surely. Link to Dodorishi on Knorr Ng right here: http://www.knorr.ng/recipes/detail/14232/1/dodorishi

Here are a few pictures from the Knorr Ng site:

Here is a link to the site: http://www.knorr.ng/recipes. You will find old Dooney’s Kitchen favourites and some new never been seen before pictures and recipes. All 50+ of them.

So, that is what I have been up to this past month. For all of you who left comments asking about my absence, facebook messages, emails, tweets and instagram comments, I would like to say thank you very much for the love and concern, I truly appreciated that you noticed my absence. It really meant a lot. The countdown has started to the grand reveal. Count with me and wish me luck. I am coming back bigger and better. The best you have ever seen yet. Have a lovely weekend folks and y’all in Lagos, get ready!!!!!!!!!!

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.

    Welldone Dooney!!! The Good Book says….”the gifts of a man makes way for him and brings him before great men….” You have impacted my kitchen immensely, one of many examples is how my husband born and bred in Benin now (after many failed attempts to cook banga soup that actually tastes like banga soup) compliments my Banga soup…I tell you it is a miracle indeed. Keep up the good work

      Hi Kay. Your comment made me smile. My dear, the contents of that spice mix takes experience to get right and they have funny names – Rododjie, Tyko, Oburunbebe and some other ones i can’t pronounce or even type. Lol

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.
