🎥 MAKING PLANTAIN WITH… @kwikish
🍳 This week, we’re keeping it quick and full of flavour. Zikora @__zikora and Ade @ade.bonair , co-founders of Kwikish, bring a classic Nigerian breakfast to life with plantain and egg stew, powered by their jollof sauce made for ease and enjoyment.
🇳🇬 Growing up as the eldest in a Nigerian household, cooking started early for Zikora. Years later, that experience inspired Kwikish; a way to honour West African flavours without spending hours in the kitchen.

NEW EPISODE 🎥 MAKING PLANTAIN WITH… @borough22@borough22doughnuts
👨🏾🍳Ryan, founder of Borough 22, started his journey in a home kitchen with one goal: to create treats that everyone could enjoy. What began as a solution for his children’s food allergies has grown into a successful brand, redefining what indulgence can look and taste like.
🍩 In this episode, plantain becomes the star of a selection of doughnuts, Creme Brûlée Plantain Doughnut, Plantain Custard Doughnut and Plantain Glazed Doughnut - tradition and culture while honouring creativity and accessibility. A reminder that our ingredients are versatile, evolving, and meant to be shared by all.

🎥 MAKING PLANTAIN WITH… @papakwams
👨🏾🍳 For Kwame, cocktails are more than drinks, they’re vessels for culture, memory, and storytelling. With years in hospitality and a deep curiosity for African flavours, he created @abura.bar , creating drinks that centre African ingredients and the stories behind them.
🇬🇭 Inspired by a visit to family in Ghana and the discovery of local palm spirits, Kwame’s work celebrates the richness of African ingredients and the endless ways it can evolve.
🍸This week on Making Plantain With, Kwame reimagines plantain in liquid form with a plantain milk punch, crafted using @drinkdodo and @kromanti_rum .
✨ From frying and boiling to cakes, breads, and now cocktails, it’s so beautiful to see how plantain continues to transform!

🎥 MAKING PLANTAIN WITH… @toyotastes !
👩🏾🍳 For Toyo, food has always been about connection - to culture, to memory, and to the people.
🏡 Her journey into cooking began at home, after the loss of her father, when the kitchen became a place of purpose, care, and togetherness.
🍽️ This week, she brings those layers together with lamb, plantain, and sweet potato spring rolls, served with a West African spiced mayonnaise inspired by the flavours of banga soup.
💛 A dish shaped by heritage, but developed through travel, curiosity, and a love for discovering just how infinite food can be.
✨Toyo’s cooking is a reflection of history, community, and the ever-evolving stories we tell through food.
