Since ancient times food has been a competitive art on our amazing and beautifully diverse African continent. We all have that aunt, uncle, mother, father, brother or friend who slices and dices issues in the headquarters of food, the kitchen. You know the ones whose salads are the first to disappear at gatherings and parties, leaving everyone drooling and begging for more. Some of these individuals have made their way into cyberspace and are the reason we are constantly “craving something nice” due to the mouth-watering content
they share on the gram.
We are not talking about the novices who became chefs during lockdown, we are talking about the real makoya. You know them, they are everywhere on our timelines. We also can’t deny the healthy air of unspoken competitiveness between these individuals. It’s always an issue of who makes the better jollof, and whose baked goods slap the most. Well, Making The Menu is here to put those issues to rest and finally settle
those scores.
