My inspiration for cooking

'Hmm! Antoinette your mum is an amazing cook', said a family friend with a smile.  Everyone at dinner in unison agreed with a nod or muffled noise of hmm..

Having to wake up early on Saturdays to get fresh ingredients from the market, I watched with intrigue, my mum interacting with stall holders, negotiating deals, touching and smelling each ingredient. Sometimes a visit to the market could take almost 6 hrs, due to mums negotiations and also wanting the very best of ingredients.

I watched mum handpick quality ingredients, mix spices to create amazing seasoning and marinating with mixed herbs to create amazing flavours.

My passion for cooking was heightened and I began creating flavours. Before long I was cooking for a minimum of  8 people each night for dinner. I enjoy watching people love what I have created. My favourite Uncle will visit everyday for his share of dinner. I always made sure I had some reserved for him. Good food does bring people together and it does ignite all their senses.

I love sourcing good quality ingredients, exploring new ingredients, creating flavours, infusions and sharing my passion, thanks to my mum, my inspiration.

Learn to cook with passion, create flavours by mixing spices or herbs, turn everyday ingredients into show stopping meals with lip-smacking flavours. For all enquiries please  email contactus@ndudu.co.uk

  1. This post reminds me of my mum and my almost pathologic passion for good food, cooking and especially baking(really love to bake). She was just like yours fussy with what she wants and how she loves her stuff to be done. She really is an inspiration and yes I also got my passion for cooking from her :D. Think I should make a piece dedicated to her on our(me and a my fellow grub ninja, hehe) blog www.lifeandcookingit.com you can check it out, we getting there ;). Love your blog it's real inspiration and like your style very unique.
