Hello,
My name is Samantha, I am a natural hair blogger and founder of ♥ ❤ ❥ ❣ ❦ ❧SammyWithTheBigHair♥ ❤ ❥❣ ❦ ❧, a teen activist, an outreach specialist for TeenActivist.Org, Singer/Song-writer.... and now, a food blogger.
I was initially going to just wait and start a food channel on YouTube, but like, now, at 00:41, an idea popped into my head, why not just start a food blog? So, that's what I'm doing.
I cannot guarantee how often I'll upload things on here, but I will upload something every now and then and you can send me recipes to review so I can have something to upload if I don't upload in a while.
Okay! So, I'm not really an eater, but I cook from time to time. I don't eat many foods (I sorta have an eating disorder called SED. Here's something I wrote on how it is for me, because you won't find exactly how the SED is for me online). I won't bother putting up a list of the things I don't eat on here because that'll be extensive (by the way, I'm only allergic to one thing).
My cooking is mainly Asian, European and African inspired. I usually embrace my two cultures when cooking (English and Nigerian). Sometimes, I cook something rather European and spice it up with some hot pepper to make it kinda African (by the way, I don't find peppers or chillies hot for some reason), other times, I cook something European and add an Asian twist to it and maybe do the pepper thing to make it a bit African. Sometimes, I just make something African in a unique way.
I read cookbooks, but I don't follow the book. I tweak things a lot aaaaaand, basically, I just flip through cookbooks and look at ingredients to find some ingredient I don't mind cooking with. Once I find the ingredient, I start thinking up things to cook and then I make them.
Another thing, I'm vegetarian. I say I've been vegetarian for 6 years, but the thing is, I started off as a vegetarian then a pollo-pescetarian then a pollotarian (not eating the flesh, though) then fully a vegetarian again. Some people call that pollovegetarian, but as long as meat it was part of a living, breathing, heart pumping, blood flowing, moving creature, I don't consider it a vegetarian diet. The thing is, I fight for animal rights (cruelty), yeah, but that's not my reason for being vegetarian. I actually just hate the taste of meats. That's it. By the way, I'm lacto-ovo-vegetarian.
I'm Christian, I believe that Jesus really lived, He really died on the cross for my sins and that He really rose again on the third day. Jesus is my Redeemer, Saviour and Friend. I am a non-denominational Christian, but I go to Pentecostal churches. I'm non-denominational by choice because I don't want to base my faith on what a sect or denomination tells me to. I want to read the Bible and find the truth for myself.
Okay! So, there are going to be few recipes with meats, but there will be some up. The ones uploaded will usually be with seafood, by the way. I don't taste food while I'm cooking if it contains meats. I just hope the food turns out good and it does (thank God!). I don't touch raw meats, by the way, that's why. I made crunchy spiced calamari fillets two days ago and I used prongs to hold the calamari fillets during every process till the calamari was done being cooked. I don't go to the butchers/meats sections in supermarkets because I can't watch raw meat being cut and the smell of blood....gaah...I can't stand blood.
Anyways, so that's it!
Remember, send me recipes, reviews, whatever!
