Introductory Post To "The African Kitchen Show"

Hi Friends!

It's my Delight to Introduce to you " The African Kitchen Show"! Henceforth, I will be publishing a weekly publication known as the African kitchen, I want to teach us how to cook some African foods.

We have numerous elegant meals in Nigeria, and they're not just delicious but packed with countless health benefits. We must eat healthy because we're what we eat and health is wealth.

My intentions in making this weekly publication are to teach both my foreign and indigenous friends how to prepare some African foods.

To Show you our lifestyle about meals

To teach you the health benefits of some foods, thus guiding you to eat healthily.

I will also tell you how we normally serve each meal and the Occasions we eat it.

The #food content is diminishing in the platform, maybe because the famous food community is no more, so I want to use this medium to teach others about African lifestyles about what we eat.

I will be encouraging engagement in the weekly publication by asking a simple question at the end of each weekly publication. The first 10 users who will give the correct answer to the question(s) will be rewarded 2 Tron tokens each.
