Good Read: The Girl With The Louding Voice - Abi Dare

  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Waistline Saviour: Will The Rain Drop Cake Be The New Superfood?

Waist Line Saviour:  Will The Rain Drop Cake Be The New Superfood?
There has been this talk in town of the new cake that looks like a blob of rain drop and it's good for the waistline containing zero calories. Hurray! The recipe is based on Japanese cult dessert made from water and gelatin / agar gum. Chef Darren Wong said of his inspired creation...



"Making the cake took a lot of trial and error testing out different agars and gelatins to get the right consistency". The cake has to maintain its shape but still have the texture of water.  This makes the cake a nightmare to store and transport.
"That was the second challenge I had to overcome. Each cake has to be individually packed in a way that protects it from movement and temperature." For flavour, you can add roasted soybean flour and brown sugar syrup.Who says you can't eat your cake and have it?
Chef Darren Wong
