A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO USING SPICES EP1- Ndudu by Fafa 

I love how you even talk about the negative effects of the ingredients? Because knowing me I would've abused that nutmeg in every dessert I make.

Fafa you are so natural, and love the way you exhibit our culture through cooking. I saw that lantern, so creative.

I started using anise seed in my dishes and it’s amazing! I can’t believe how long it took me to discover this. You’re truly awesome!

Who is here with me 2022 to learn from amazing nududu by Fafa ❤️🤩

Fafa means peace. Patience is Dzigbordi in ewe.

You're awesome! Fafa means peace /calm/cool❤️ Dzigbordi means Patience ❤️

Great video! The vast majority of Brits don't know, but there are tons of native spices here in Britain, which I've recently started developing a compendium of (though it's difficult when you're working 40-50 hours a week). A lot of compounds usually associated with exotic spices and flavours - coconut, nutmeg, chili, vanilla - can be found in British plants that grow out in the fields, countryside paths, coasts (and underwater) and woodlands. However, they're found in different forms, for example a coconut flavour can be found in the cap of the coconut milkcap (Lactarius glyciosmus) and the flowers of gorse (Ulex europaeus, though this latter source seems to fade quickly, but is strong fresh) rather than the seed, as a result they will need to be used differently. It would be great to hear from you if you're interested in some way doing a "fusion" whereby the recipe is of your traditional dishes, but uses wild foraged herbs and spices from here rather than shipped in from abroad. As we live on an island (also I'm pescetarian) I'm really interested in developing seafood based cuisine, however there's no reason chicken and beef can't also be used.

I just love you. "Nourish your body". Yes Fafa! Preach!

My mother used to toast the African nut Meg with sun dried chili pepper n it used to smell so nice in pepper soup

God bless u for teaching me a young girl of thirteen how to use these .thank u ma
