    I just got married to a Nigerian man. I'm South African. I made him Jollof rice with chicken using your recipe. He loved it. Thank you so much 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

    Girl....I am an American married to a Nigerian and thanks to you he thinks I am an Igbo woman from the village when I cook. Everytime I make your Eguisi he calls me by my village title Nwanyi Diogo and I get a proper madam kiss. Your instructions are clear and the food is fabulous. Thanks for making me Nigerian in the kitchen.

    Ivonne, I have tried this recipe before in the past and I enjoyed it.
    Now, I revisited your channel and cooked the egusi again exactly as you cooked it. My 20 year old daughter who never eats African food has been eating egusi for the last two weeks for breakfast and dinner😂😂😂Thanks to you.
    I have cooked it twice in the last two weeks and portioned it into Tupperware for her.
    Absolutely delicious!
    Thanks again🙏

    I can't just imagine how could people dislike this heartwarming and mouthwatering video? not encouraging at all.

    • @toliakins
      @toliakins 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hills Ikem week. The truth is some people hate food. They are so afraid of getting fat. So they will gladly dislike a yummy food vid😜

    • @thebaddest3452
      @thebaddest3452 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well this seems to be a very yoruba way of cooking it. There are many people who don't like 4 scotch bonnets !!!

    • @hawtnsweet
      @hawtnsweet 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's the garlic, thyme and curry she added. I'm willing to bet you that all 85 dislikes are Nigerians shuddering at the thought of marrying those 'foreign' flavors with efinrin and locust beans. To each his own I say. The soup looks yummy, and I'm a firm believer in trying something at least once before making up my mind about it.

  • @jenniferaladi1027
    @jenniferaladi1027 7 ปีที่แล้ว +36

    The main reason why I love your channel is because your cooking instructions 💯👌👍 I can't wait for your stew lol !!! I have basically cooked almost everything on your channel and it tastes sooooo good.. like I honestly do not know how to cook but with your instructions and technique girl!!!! I have been cooking real good. Thank you once again..

    • @Sheila.B35
      @Sheila.B35 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Jennifer Aladi, I have been begging for her to cook stew which is my favourite. I am Afro-Caribbean but I LOVE Nigerian food. Since I found Ivonne I am confident that I can cook the food myself instead of going to takeout. Her videos are on point.

    • @jenniferaladi1027
      @jenniferaladi1027 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      neonatal97 yes I can't wait for her stew lol. Her instructions are amazing she tells you how long u are suppose to cook it for. That is the main reason why I like watching her, other cooking channels are never exact. Then I get soo confused 🤷‍♀️ . But I honestly love her .

    @ Ivonne Ajayi, I just want to thank you so much for your amazing well explained instructional cooking vids. I made Egusi Soup and Jollof Rice for the 1st time last year using your recipes last year and it blew my mind. I used to spend a ton of $ going to the African restaurant, but now I just make it at home because your recipes is better than the African restaurant I used to go to. I can't thank you enough. When you have the time can you please bless us with a "Pepper Soup" vid

  • @loolar5983
    @loolar5983 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4
