Palm nut soup/ ofe akwu Palm nut soup/ ofe akwu
I love food lol but my favorite soup of all, is this beautiful palm nut soup. The flavor of the palm nut is indescribable and delicious 😋! The palm tree is just amazing that you can get wine from it and it’s no low class wine either! Palm oil is a must for a lot of Igbo dishes and of course the palm nut soup 🍜 is time consuming but so worth it ! ifuchi -

Beef Rendang Beef Rendang
Rendang is known as one of delicious dishes in the world. It's originally from West Sumatra, Indonesia. Rendang is piece of meat which slowly cooked and braised in coconut milk and spice mixture. This dish is usually served with rice or ketupat (rice dumplings woven in palm leaves).The recipe I wrote is from my mom. She usually makes rendang in special occasion such as Eid al-Fitr or her children back to visit her.#OneRecipeOneTree Rin's Kitchen -

Apple Pie Oatmeal Apple Pie Oatmeal
I tried this recipe from Christina (id in this cookpad). This is so tasty and healthy, I made changes in the fillings, and when I cooked this, the oatmeal came out a bit dry (maybe I made mistake in the way I cooked it), so I added some more milk in it, until I met the consistency that I wanted. But overall this oatmeal tasted so delicious, try it! 😁😁😁 Yanny Widjanarko -
Easy lunch! Japanese-style pizza with whitebait, chikuwa and leeks Easy lunch! Japanese-style pizza with whitebait, chikuwa and leeks
Perfect for summer! This Japanese-inspired pizza is a healthy and flavorful twist on the classic. It combines sweet leeks, savory whitebait, and chewy slices of chikuwa (a Japanese fish cake) for a light yet satisfying bite. The touch of chili peppers adds just the right amount of heat, and a drizzle of olive oil brings everything together.Not only is it easy to make—just chop, layer, and bake—but it’s also a wholesome choice, packed with protein and nutrients from the seafood and veggies. It’s perfect for a light lunch or as a healthy, shareable appetizer with drinks.Pro tip: For a crispy crust, brush olive oil all the way to the edges of the dough. Place sliced leaks on top for a beautifully roasted finish. Keep an eye on the pizza as it bakes—every oven is different, so once the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly, it’s ready to enjoy!#CrazyPizzaChallenge きりん家の食卓 -
Leftover Turkey Gumbo Leftover Turkey Gumbo
The best way to finish up that leftover turkey. This gumbo is full of flavor and is delicious over rice or without. The day after Thanksgiving and/or Christmas when everyone was tired of eating the turkey, my Mom would take the carcass and smoosh it into a large pot and cover it with water and let it simmer all day in preparation for the gumbo. Then start the roux. The base of any legit gumbo is the roux, which should cook until it is a dark chocolate brown color. #GoldenApron23 Sonya Bankester -
