Scrambled eggs | Spiced plantain nuggets | Efọ tete | Spicy crayfish sauce

This dish comprises soft scrambled eggs, and pillowy spiced plantain nuggets combined in a spicy crayfish and scent leaf flavoured tomato based sauce, served with steamed Efọ tete(Amaranth spinach).

The dish is a combination of accessible indigenous ingredients that I love, coming together to form a new staple, that cannot only sit confidently on a brunch menu at an upscale restaurant, but also be easily prepared for breakfast by a mother in every Nigerian home.

I originally created this dish for the recently completed Nigeria Food Summit Culinary Champion Competition, but due to technical difficulties, I could not cook it.

The Nigeria food summit was amazing!

I reconnected with old friends, made some new ones, and met amazing chefs and mentors.

Being given the opportunity to stand on that stage in front of all those people, and tell a story, not just with words, but with flavours, was an experience like none other.

Special thanks to @chefgibbsofficial , the organising team, and the judges of the culinary champion competition:

Those 2 days will always have a special place in my heart.

This here, is AFROBEATS ON A PLATE!

At the start of this project, all I could think of was how little I knew about afrobeats.
Approaching this from almost a novelty perspective was so beautiful and exploratory.

I created a menu based on the history and future of afrobeats, titled; "AFROBEATS: A PLATED TALE"

The Amuse Bouche is named "AFROBEATS, NOT AFROBEAT", and it is split into 2 parts.

Here is the first of the 2 parts; AFROBEATS.

This is a luscious, soy-glazed confit duck, in an activated charcoal shell, topped with a velvety smooth avocado mousse and adorned with gold foil and petals of chrysanthemum.

ONE NIGHT ONLY RECAP

My favourite part of the entire experience was the people I had the honour of working with. The wheatbaker kitchen team was so welcoming, sharing their home with me.

I learned new techniques, had a bunch of laughs and tasted some really great food.

I ran service with a handful of extremely talented chefs on 1 hour of sleep, and it was all extremely beautiful to watch and be a part of.

My dish was based on a herb that grows locally in Ibadan called "Reku reku", and it blew my own mind.
More on that later❤️

In this new age, AI is a super powerful tool, with loads of applications...yes, even for chefs.

You can do complex tasks like costing, recipe writing, and labour scheduling at the click of a button.

I'm here to talk about something I stumbled across in 2025

AI prompt writing for plating mock-ups.

With the right precise prompt, you can create realistic images of proposed dishes for an entire menu before you even step into a kitchen.

Big thanks to @cheffe.jessicaberment for this eye opener.

⚠️NOTE: Though AI is a powerful tool, we cannot allow it to overtake the entire process, or completely outsource our thought process.
The creativity comes from us as chefs, and the execution is done with the AI.
Remember to use it responsibly.
