Hellooo, is this thing on? I have been on much needed long hiatus but i think i am ready to be back. So much has been happening with the Afrolems brand and I want to share it all but I will pace myself and share over the next few weeks. What's cooking in your kitchen?

Thank you to all that recognize past and present work even though I haven’t creatively shared a lot majority of this year. Thank you to those that still honor the space and members of the space. 🙏🏾

Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Hov. Ok kidding my name is Atim and I’m the Creative Director of Afrolems Culinary Services.

Afrolems started as a catering business in 2009 in Toronto and we started a blog to promote the catering business. We shared our recipes but still catered the same dishes to our customers at the time and then the blogging side evolved into a life of its own. We worked briefly in San Francisco and Boston and decided to bring it home to Nigeria.

Since then the business has evolved into doing Restaurant Consultations, Outdoor and Private Catering, Canapé Services for events, Content Creation for Brands, Product Development for Brands and Retail Food sales through our ( ) page on IG.

We are passionate about Nigerian food and we ensure we bring it into every menu we serve. We believe in the wide possibilities of Nigerian ingredients and we are determined to show you how.

With my background in Digital enterprise management, social entrepreneurship, design thinking and marketing strategy, I’ve been able to stay in the culinary industry for 14 years and explore the length and breadth of it.

That’s a short summary of me, tell me about you 😊

On my journey to Nkwobi Mayo, I realized how important mouthfeel is in nailing the taste. “Mouthfeel is defined as the sensations arising from the interactions of ingested food, mixed with saliva, with the receptors in the mouth that respond to tactile stimuli during mastication” (Smith and Margolskee, 2001).
From: Modifying Food Texture, 2015

Essentially, mouthfeel is how the taste all comes together in your mouth and it made me realize that with all the elements mixed in, all that was missing was the powdery element which were potash or baking soda. The egg as a base somehow interacted with the baking soda and created a mousse like texture for the Nkwobi sauce but the potash stayed neutral. I will be trying cornstarch next to see if that contributes to mouthfeel. Texture for the Mayo is almost there. Just need to figure out measurements. It is important to me to nail both the texture and the taste. What other powders do you think I can use?

On the 27th of April, my brief was to provide cold and hot canapés for a client event with 170 people in mind. The event was hosted by and it was the launch of "The World Ahead by " With a team of 16 people, we were able to execute a total of 12 different dishes in a short time frame. The lesson we learned on this project was staying in our originality and also being open to flexibility. With a lot of moving parts, we were able to execute efficiently and we have received great feedback from our clients. Happy to have had a successful outing and we are open to great collaborations as they come our way.

It’s that Suya type of Weekend. If you want to make some at home. Buy a chunk of stewing beef and freeze then slice thinly, season with your yaji, ginger, bouillon, garlic powder, chili pepper and onion powder if you have. If you want to make it a tad more interesting add some iru powder but very tiny. Grill on open fire smearing oil on it intermittently till ready and enjoy.

Your weekend snacks could include these iru and cheese yam fries. Make a cheese melt with iru and drizzle over your yam fries and thank me later. For those that don’t know, iru is fermented locust beans that has flavors reminiscent of truffles. It gives a unique pungent profile to dishes that may be off putting for some and absolutely divine for others. My recommendation will be use the dehydrated powdered version. It’s not as pungent in smell that way.
