Quinoa? What?
Hello Foodies. Allow me to introduce you to Quinoa sp- kiːnwɑː I just discovered this oh! so fabulous grain last summer, and now I am hooked. I LOVE rice but, for my non- rice loving people, I will highly recommend Quinoa as a substitute.
I discovered Quinoa at a dinner party. I was beyond excited to go home and go try my own version. I found my way to the store the very next morning, and I HAD to make it for lunch it was so fluffy and yummy.
Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it an alternative to white rice or couscous.- WP

Food Photo Junkie
Oh my I am starting to take a picture of just about every meal in sight. Somewhat exhausting, because I keep thinking “I am so not a photographer. I have no clue what I am doing”. I am pretty critical of my own work, so chances are if I like it, it’s gonna work for most foodies.
Some of these recipes you would have to wait until the cookbook comes out.

Branding for Afropolitan Chef
I have been working on the branding for Afropolitan Chef for a while now. It’s still a work in progress, but I can certainly say I am happy with the colors. It’s fresh, vibrant and engaging. Absolutely fitting of what the intention is. A special thank you to my friend and photographer, Tommy Chung. I have known Tommy for what seems like forever. He was so busy that day, we did the shoot for all this in less than 45 minutes. Only an awesome photographer can make that happen. yay Tommy.!
