We live in a society where cooking is thought to be gender specific. They say, cooking is a woman’s job.
That’s as unsound a logic as they come. Food is essential to survival and it’s a skill, yes skill everyone need to have.
Knowing this, the idea is still rejected and it’s all fun and games till you’re a bachelor living on your own and spending a substantial amount of your income on Food.
But for those of you who are ready to learn how to cook certain dishes but don’t know where to start, this article is for you.
Here a 5 food every bachelor should know how to cook.
Rice & Stew
Let’s start with the basics, rice and stew belong on the Nigerian flag.
It’s the most common meal amongst Nigerians and it’s very easy to make.
Every Nigerian eats rice at least 3 times a week.
Pasta
You can never go wrong with pasta, it’s easy to cook, filling, quick.
Beans
Beans was used by my parents to teach me hard work, patience and delayed gratification.
Picking beans can be a bit hectic and it’s a known time consumer but the finished product when done right is superb.
Yam & Egg
This is another quick and easy meal to make.
Yam is the main thing to learn and if you don’t know how to fry an egg, abeg don’t continue cos you might burn down your house if you attempt to cook the next meal.
Egusi
Now to the more complicated stuff.
There are some days when you just want to give yourself a good treat, Instead of the basic rice and yam.
Egusi is one of such meals, it was invented for Kings with knowledge straight from the gods and it was used to bless their most loyal servants.
If anyone tells you any soup trumps this, they lied.
