"...Free ideas are not usually valued but the ideas bought with money are more treasured..."

It's all about kitchen for me, and I guess you what is done right inside the kitchen? Some weeks ago, I made an entry here about how cooking is a pleasure for me.

If you follow my blog, you would attest with me that I'm a foodie and you must have come across my weekly entry "Nina's kitchen" where I share African dishes.

I became a kitchen genius at a very tender age. I didn't go to learn how to cook, but I was coached by my mom, who never gave me a breathing space. I thought she hated me because I was the only one that was called into the kitchen when she's cooking while my siblings are free to do whatever.

The kitchen became my first room in a house; as far as there is a kitchen in a house, that is usually my focus. Maybe because it's now part of me to cook my meals to my taste and play in the kitchen with flavors because I love it when a nice aroma comes out of a kitchen.

Anytime my friend calls on the phone, I always say, "I'm in the kitchen," and he wonders why I'm always in the kitchen. I guess when he sees this post, he will understand why...

Food hack tips from your kitchen genius!

It is one thing to do something, and it is another to get it right. I usually tell people, Whatever you do, try to do it right; that is the key.

The kitchen is not to be feared because there is nothing so huge about it. It is just a small room in a house where all the cooking is done.

Always believe you can do it and try doing it. I am not perfect, no, I'm not because I know a lot of people who would beat me hands down when it comes to the kitchen line, but I'm not discouraged; I only learn from them because I want to be better.

Everyone loves food, so why not start by getting the family's meal properly cooked and well served? Try out new recipes. I don't believe anyone would say, "I don't know how to cook," because we now have all food recipes available online for beginners.

Be creative; yes, try adding your own touches and styles; that is what makes you different, and that's your signature!

Kitchen hacks for homemade Shawarma

These food hacks would simplify your life in a huge way, offering you solutions to solve some kitchen problems you didn't even know you had.

I always buy Shawarma from roadside sellers until last week, when the worst happened and I decided I wouldn't spend my money outside to buy something I could comfortably cook in my kitchen within a short time.

Today, I made shawarma right inside my kitchen, and the result was beautiful, rich, and sumptuous. Oh, I wish you could have a taste of it right now. Just wait till I share my recipe...

It's shawarma time from Nina's kitchen!

Shawarma Ingredients	Shawarma Ingredients

Just go for what you can afford, and what makes a mouth-watering shawarma is the filling. If you have a rich filling, your shawarma will turn out amazing. Just get it right.

So the first step was to wash my chicken with salt and clean water. Put them into a pot, spice it, and set it on fire to cook. Do not add water, and make sure the chicken is cut into tiny pieces.

Wash the cabbage with clean water, slice it to your desired size, and set aside.

Mixing my creamer

In a clean bowl, pour a little of the salad cream and ketchup, mix them together to get that rich and fluffy filling.

Add the cabbage to the mixture and stir together.

Pour the mixture into the pot of grilled chicken and mix together. Taste for salt and pepper, oh I love my shawarma spicy...

Filling my shawarma bread

With the shawarma bread, scoop a sizeable filling you wish for one wrap and fold in the bread. Continue this process until the filling is completed. You can wrap with a foil or not.

	My shawarma in a clean pan

Now, in a clean pan add the wrapped shawarma (no oil) and place on a very low heat.

Flip over the other side to continue the process and I guess you should know when it's ready!

Oh my God! You must be salivating by now, hahahaha. This is very easy, economical and yummy! 😋

Instead of buying from road side sellers, why not save cost in your kitchen and save life. I hope my brilliance idea was well appreciated!
