"Not disgusting" is the standard I often reach when I cook as well!
You should have put some respeck on it. it really adds great flavor
Ahahahahaha
+Evelyn From The Internets can you tell me what all ingredients you used, so I can try it
+amorelcorley Your comment gave me life....life, fam.
+Destiny Ward Aunty E tried, but I would suggest checking out all nigerian recipes RUclips. She even has a book
I told my mom I want to start cooking for her and she started laughing
+Nicole Lovett this comment made me holler!
Lol
+Nicole Lovett LMDAO She said you ain't fin' to kill her lmbo jkjk I hollered so hard after reading your comment. She sounds like my mom
+Nicole Lovett Same here lmaoo! I want to start learning how to make chicken, like chicken wings and all that magical goodness and she's all like how about you don't.
+Nicole Lovett My mom said the same thing until I cooked for her and she has never questioned me since. LMAO.
BTW that would be even better with some plantains on the side. Plantains make everything better 😂
true
Preach
Yes o!
You ain't never lying!
+Luv Mika I just wrote that my Nigerian brother in law would make stew for us and put bananas in it, now that you mention plantains. It was probably that! LOL
The cleaning of the dishes, consistently stops me from cooking. But then my waistline has caused me to get in the kitchen. My fav thing to cook is catfish & grits. I just don't eat it often tho.
If Evelyn had a cooking channel, this is exactly what it would be like xD
I wish VEDA was just VED
Genius. Yo Evelyn.....VED 😁😁
Same!!!1
+TheHouseOfHenry or VEDAD (Vlog Every Day All Day)
+Rowbin Ashley Hahahhahah!!!
...I mean in a traditional sense of "How Wifeable am I based off my cooking skills" on a scale of Hottie from Flavor of Love microwaving the chicken to Pattie LaBelle and the Pattie Pie... I'd say I'm at 7.5 like I can cook. Like I got like 5 solid recipes I got down pact (including this Japanese curry dish). I can eyeball the measurements, etc. Everything else though? lol I need the ingredients every step of the way, like I couldn't of pulled off this recipe from memory alone
Step 10 was the TRUTH
Make it work Girl!
Applies to my life....always
Man Evelyn, I don't want VEDA to end. Like watching you + reading all the comments has made my month.
yes! this month flew by quick!
Lol! "It doesn't taste disgusting!"
I swear i love EVERY single one of your videos!!
My fathers taught me his special Jollof Rice recipe and bruhhh, when I saaaaay, it will have you wanting to WED ME! 🙌🏾👏🏾😋 like this is no ordinary Jollof
Legit tear my friends lmbo. My favorite thing to cook is gumbo. Truthfully I really don't know how to cook well so I add rice to everything and call it gumbo. | peace xo
Lmao!
Hahaha
+Mack Unfolds YAAAAAS! Gumbo is my favorite thing ever to cook!
AlphabetSoup lol Gumbo is lit ! | Peace xo
Can you do VEDA in August too? The internet is a better place with your videos in it.
You lit for this Evelyn. For real. well done o! #youmadeitwork #thatswhatimtalmbout #makeitwork
My favorite thing to cook is Charleston style shrimp & creamy grits. I'm also a baker & I love baking anything & everything sweet.
Also I love you & I'm gonna be sad when VEDA is over!!
you are FABULOUS Evelyn. Why have I missed watching your videos until now?! They are giving me new life. Please continue to feed the masses with a spoon full of positivity and a side of education. Be blessed :)
This is easily my favorite video of yours....I am cackling!!!!!!!
your reaction to it tasting good is me every time I get a little experimental. which is basically every time because I'm a student so it's just "what food to have and how can it make it not awful"
My favorite thing to cook would be anything I can throw in the crock pot. I swear I'm wearing that thing out. I be making breakfast, lunch & dinner in that thing. Once I find some solid crock pot desserts, it's gonna be on and popping!
...on and "crock-pottin"
really? maybe I should invest in one. go ahead post some recipes tho. 🙄
+4everchris joy it's definitely worth the investment, especially since you can pick one up for around $35 or so. Here's a couple recipes I use often (yea I cook a lot of chicken because it's cheap lol)..

+AshUnapologetic Wow, thanks. I didn't expect this much! I will definitely be purchasing one. thanks again
i swear i didnt even watch the video for the stew..i watched it cuz i just knew after the first 15 seconds it was gonna be a funny video lol you are def my comedienne i come to watch here on the YT! lol
OH GIRL! I'm screaming laughing! 😂😂 for next time, you can blend the onion with the pepper. you only really need as much oil as it'll take to coat the whole pan.
I love making stews. whether it's Nigerian style, Jamaican style, any kind. and macaroni and cheese.
oh and pizzas, because when you make pizza you have a lot of room to experiment before it becomes terrible.
I shoki'ed right along with you lol
The stew came out good! Im Nigerian-American and I learned how to make it from RUclips. A woman called Nigeriancooks. She makes everything. Next time fry the tomatoes until the oil is red. Then save the oil for next time. It will give it more flavor. My favorite dish to cook is Fried Chicken. Im the chicken whisper! Ok I feel like this is novel somehow. Mmm kay bye lol
KathTea from the future here. For the last 6 months, I've been making Nigerian stew when cooking for one. Thanks Evelyn!
Bok choy stew is my favorite stew to make. My husband dont eat vegan but when I made that last time the damn pot disappeared like a kidnapping. Im screaming, "I chopped ingredients for over an hour by hand, I made a weeks worth of stew and it gone day 2!! where is my stew!!! He mumbles sheepishly " I ate a lil bit of it " ( mumbles what could be taken as I dont know where the rest is but incoherently cuz he know he lieing) ate my whole doggone pot! Dude ate it for breakfast lunch dinner, brunch and midnight snack, lol. Took him a month before he openly said it was so good to him he could not stop eating it. So instead of being mad, Im proud now. Im gonna make him chop the ingredients next time so I can make it.
I was dying laughing so hard at this video!! It's 4am and I am supposed to be sleep. This video didn't help with that at all 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You finally hit 50k!!!! 👏🏾🎉 #blackgirlmagic
Ok first of all I cook like once a year....but enough about me.....u r giving me Issa Raye vibes...keep doing ur thing n I'll definitely see u on the big screen....so glad I came across ur videos today 💪💚😥
I clicked like before watching ... Nigerian girl here 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
You gotta divine gift of comedy. Best comedians ain't have all the funniest things happen to them. They make everything funny. You got that.
I'm not gonna let my Nigerian mum see this video so she can get angry that a Kenyan woman has made stew before her Nigerian daughter has :(
Oh my gosh was cracking up!!!!! I think we all have those "I hope this turns out good" moments
Favorite dishes: beef and rice casserole, chicken and rice casserole, a good ole steak, fried pork chops. Yes there's a list of favorites!
My crockpot and I are very good friends for a lot of my cooking, not about the slave at the stove life.
I'm Jamaican, so I love rice and peas and curry chicken. I cook it all the time. My boyfriend is Cameroonian and I'm trying to learn how to make some of their dishes. I've tried Cameroonian peanut butter soup and bitterleaf and it's so good!
I'm basic af when it comes to cooking but my friends that have had my cooking absolutely love it. I love marinating chicken thighs (since I'm on a fitness journey I cook chicken breast now) in lemon pepper stuffs and bake it. Then I sautée spinach (or kale) with some mushrooms and season that up too. Ooh! And I love making shredded chicken tacos. Nothing special but my friends love that too.
I JUST made bibimbap for the first time today! All on my own! And I've only eaten it once before lol. It turned out reaaaally good. The recipe is really simple, but it was way more steps than I anticipated because all the ingredients are cooked separately and I am the worst at preparing multiple corresponding ingredients at once lol. Burnt some sesame seeds.
I'm Nigerian too and let me tell you, don't worry about there being too much oil since you can just pour out the excess later...or keep it. It's up to you and whatever consistency you're going for
my favorite thing to make is " i threw a bunch of stuff in a pan, poured it over rice and hope it tastes good " stir fry.
I started cooking last year because I was so sick of fast food and I needed to lose weight. Turns out if you actually follow a recipe it usually turns out ok. That and always keeping the basics in the kitchen helps.
GOD bless❤️
So is this not how everyone normally cooks? No? Are tears of pain and rage not your secret ingredients?
Hi fellow Austinite! ummm yea, i dnt cook. well i can scramble eggs and make a mean bowl of cereal. i told my mom she's the reason i'm not married because she didnt teach me how to cook. i want to learn tho! love the videoooooooos
You have made me laugh every day in April; I'm so sad it's nearly over. This stew looked really good.
And I love reading the comments to see what other people like to cook!
Thanks for the videos, you're hilarious.
X
Step 10 was my favorite
M'batten is one of my family's traditional dishes from North Africa. Potatoes, stuffed with meat and herbs, then fried. Sooooo gooooood
Baked/grilled tilapia seasoned really good with plantains yummy. Stew and rice is a staple
Loved the editing and formatting of this video!! You have a true talent for comedy and story telling. :D
my favorite thing to cook is homemade chicken pot pie. it takes a long time and dirties up an unspeakable amount of dishes, but it's a labor of love. that always makes me happy.
Just went back and watched some of last year's VEDA in panic that April is almost over.
PS : Evelyn you should do a Q&A it's been too long!
This is damn near my exact emotional journey when I try a new recipe! 😂 I love making Sesame Ckicken & spring rolls, though. I follow "All Nigerian Recipes" & I've gotten a few of those right. 🙌 Trust me...it will turn out better next time so keep pushin'! 😁😊
Haha, yesss the kinda-know-how-to-make-it-but-not-really style of cooking is a fave. I once google how to make taco meat without the El Paso seasoning stuff, and I've been making it that way from memory since. I assume that it tastes like taco meat, who really knows (cept those proficient in taco recipes).
Now this is my favorite VEDA!! I say that everyday but you put a smile (crack me up) on my face everyday in April!!! Sooo funny
Your reaction! Yea I react the same way when I'm making dishes for the first time like "I hope this does not taste like tears and lost hope". It usually turns out alright. So far my favorite dishes to make are crawfish etouffee, baked ziti and baked tilapia.
I've never had Nigerian stew or a desire to make it but I love this video! when ever I need a good cheering up, I come watch this and dance with you at the end! Thanks for allowing me to laugh with you!
When I tell you your videos are THEE BEST thing to EVER happen to my work day!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you so!!
I can't even begin to break down how I love your videos!!!!! You are too funnnnyyy!!!!😂😂😂😂
LOL.. love this. That actually isn't enough oil!!. Probably need about 1/2 cup. When you cook the stew long enough (20-30min) it will start to separate/clump and blend properly. You shouldn't taste the tomatoes acidity. Couple tips - all that water is from the tomatoes (squeeze out the water/seeds). Use more red peppers than tomatoes, one medium tomatoes is enough - 2 large red peppers, then use 1/2 can of tomato paste to punch flavor and color. It is a lot of oil, but as my mom says in her best Naija accent "scoop around it". Ps. the oil needs to be hot..like add the tomato mixture, but have a lid ready to cover for splashing.
I cannot and do not like to cook and my Louisiana family may never forgive me for that lol. I'm good at fixing plates though. That counts right? Right?
how cooking goes for me always right here
Step 10...Make it work girl.😩😂 Hey, at least it had flavor. He'll wife you for that👍
My friend's husband is Nigerian and he made this exact stew, he made it with bone-in chicken though. I watched every step and imitated it at home and it was bomb!
LMAO! Girl, my bestie lives 900 miles away from me. She's been learning how to cook and while she messages me descriptions of her culinary shenanigans, I've never been in the kitchen with her to see the breakdowns and tantrums. This video made my whole day, and I just KNOW this is how it goes down for her, complete with "Oh, it's not too bad!" after the freak out! :D
I love to cook! And I used to hate dishes until I found you and some of my other faves on YT and ya'll get me through the arduous task. I love to make Ghana light soup b/c it's so fast and easy and I enjoy also cooking our stews. #ghanafuo
Lately I've been into chicken and rice. I just bake chicken thighs with Italian dressing (used to be oil and garlic, but it smelled better than it tasted) and and boil some 10 minute rice. I also have a recipe for this pasta with a tomato cream sauce that I add shrimp to. I usually make enough of one or the other to last a few days.
My girlfriend showed me this channel and this whole VEDA thing...now I cant stop watching...kudos very entertaining
Ghana stew wouldn't have done you like that
#jussayin #petty
+Lamley Lawson bwahahaha
I'm saying!Lol #repghana
+Lamley Lawson LMBO!! I wasn't gonna say, but yaah. As my mum and dad would say in situations like these "Aahh well. Tek-it-like-dat-den" (meaning: You live and you learn/I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen... Never helped my situation, but they seemed to feel better saying it. Lol x).
you stooooopid for that lmaooo
hahahah 😂
Congrats on that stew! You only get better with practice. I cook tomato stew, spinach stew, ginger chicken soup, groundnut/PB soup(don't knock it) and jollof rice when I get a hankering for the cuisine my parents raised me on. Can't go wrong with some good plantains and african yams/cocoyams if you can find them. By the way I'm ghanaian american. Please feel free to look up Ghanaian recipes. Some are similar to Nigerian recipes but don't tell your Nigerian friends you're looking up Ghana food. They're jealous that our jollof is fire (just kidding but they might shun you, lol)
Love your vlogs!
I have never watched something soooooooo friggin HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Favorite dish to cook: Oxtail.
Looks good! Definitely not a struggle plate 😛 I want some Nigerian friends😩
Evelyn you finna kill me out here, I am literally crying out here! step 10 make it work girl 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ive never seen someone (besides myself) so damn happi eating some food. Yassss.
embrace it booboo. love the food,become one with it. yeeeessss.
c h a pa t i. My mother taught me and now my boarding school snacks are next level.
My mom doesn't even make chapati so ima have to find an auntie somewhere to teach me
+Evelyn From The Internets find you an Indian grocery store. They sell it in the freezer section and it's pretty legit
+Evelyn From The Internets if your mom makes samosas I'll have my mom make chapos and we can trade because my mom makes gigabytes samos with tortilla and she has never looked back
+tkitele LMAO gigabytes samosas. I'm dying.
I am so happy my sister told me to check you out!
I lost my everything when you shoki'd to your stew. Evelyn you too much!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
casava leaf stew is amazing and simple. #sierraleone
Curry chicken stew with rice and plantain! Yummo!!!!
My favorite thing to cook is a good fish soup with dumplings, but I also love to cook stewed chicken with white rice of course
Evelyn you crack me up. I am really enjoying VEDA as far as my favorite dish to cook, that would definitely be dok boki with the fresh veggies seafood, red pepper paste and rice cakes. I love it
I reign over my microwave but it recently broke so now I have been mostly reigning over frozen pizza, varied toast items, grilled cheese and other things to put in the oven though I have a few good courting meals like chicken quesadillas & lasange so hopefully the man I choose - if I ever find one that deserves me - knows how to cook or doesn't mind that I can but am too lazy most of the time to do if XD
That is me all the way
OXTAILS W/RICE AND PEAS #YEAHMON #SHESEYSHECANCOOK
Holy shit I just realized Aprils almost over and I'm gonna miss your daily vlogs so much
Tostones(Also known as Patacones)! fried green pantains, cut and flattened then after fried, but hella garlic n salt on them
You bring me joy!!!
VEDA = me crying from laughter every day.
I was LITERALLY crying!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I love your videos!! I too am a Kenyan American but also honorary Nigerian. My first time making stew was basically the same, lol!! Try using palm oil sometimes, it gets that west african flava!
hahaha I am not Nigerian but like you I have lots of Nigerian friends...girl I am dying at the dance you did at the end!
i started crying for you when i saw you put tomato without oil or onion... but hey it wasn't disgusting and that's a success! favourite thing to make (although i don't like to cook) is beignets...
Next time you make it you should try putting your tomatoes and peppers in a pot and add a little bit of water to steam them. This will save you time on blending and also have less chunks in the stew
I am crying, this was so funny. Strangely enough I was eating rice and stew while watching this! Those peppers you mentioned are called scotch bonnets (though we just grew up calling them pepper, never knew there was another kind until I was older LOL). I can through it down in the kitchen!! I think stew is actually my fav thing to cook just cos I can never get bored of it. That or my pineapple chicken curry. Man I love food!
i lovveee cooking!! The aroma, the flavors, the satisfaction..its all very therapeutic :D Im glad your meal turned out wonderful! A boss chef can fix anything *tips hat*
I am CRYING!!!!! Listen, when you said "it's not disgusting", I lost all my composure!!!!! Lol. Doyin said you were doing it wrong sounds like something my bestie would say to me, too.
L O L!!! I can only cook if I follow structured recipes. When I try to put on own spin on things, whack-a-dee-dack-dack!!
My favorite thing to cook is waffles, cause it's easy, quick, and I get to get waffles at the end.
+Kokafor934 Structured recipes is me. My dad be like, well you're my offspring so you should be able to just wing it. Umm...no. That's not how it works.
+deb1920 Exactly! My sisters are so good at winging it but I didn't get that trait!
I've never seen stew in a colander before. That shouldn't be possible! This video nearly gave me a panic attack.
I'll still let you feed the kids Kenyan food tho.
+DoyinOyen WAIT WHAT I THOUGHT THE WATER WAS SUPPOSED TO EVAPORATE IT'S NOT SOUPPPPPPP UGHHHHH ASDLKJFA;DKSJF
y'all still aren't explaining it!! lolol i thought it was supposed to be thick??? you LIKE it to be watery enough to slide through a strainer??? i'm so lost pls help haha
Haha, I told ya, blend it until you get a sauce like consistency! Which I think you did, but then that got messed up when you tried to "dehydrate" it first??
So if you try this again, heat up the oil first and THEN add your blended stew in the pot to start cooking right away. I also blend my onions with the peppers and tomatoes, not a fan of the texture of cooked onions in stew.
Also, I didn't see this in the vid, but I'm assuming you added seasoning to the stew? For more authentic flavors, hit up an african store and throw some maggi cubes in there. Or I can give you some.
Watch a RUclips video, that's how I learned , and it was bomb. And I luv a Ghanaian dish called shitto
Hehehe! Well saved! Somewhat of a crazy ride, but at least you got there in the end :). What I like to cook (or more accurately what I like to eat, but if I don't cook, won't get to eat it) is toss up between Ghanaian waakye with waakye stew and good old tried and true jollof chicken and rice with fried plantain.... Mmm *heads to the fridge*.
I can rock with ya kitchen mmm fried plantains.
Jamaican curried chicken with bell peppers. I serve it with rice or couscous. It's sooooooooooooooo good
Haha...I thought I was lacking...yes! You make me feel better about my skills...haha...I don't fry mine though because yes....that's adding alittle too much skill for me...but I'm glad that you are enjoying it.
You are tooooo much, I can't cope. Much much love from the UK.
So funny, I had to watch it ✌🏾️!!! 😂😂😂😂 bravo to you for trying it - and creating an edible dish based off your memory!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oooh, I'm definitely gonna try this. My favorite dish to cook is macaroni and cheese. I love to use an assortment of cheeses, especially white and mild flavor
Love making yellow chicken curry :) been loving Veda this year, lovesss
Lmao!! Oh, my God, I'm in tears from laughing so hard! Thank you, girl--I needed that!
