Hello everyone, this is a vlog of me preparing my Favourite food, banku and garden eggs stew with my brother who claims to be a chef doing a voiceover of the process.
I’ve mentioned banku a number of times here and each time I do, people ask me what it is. It’s one of the most convenient foods in Ghana as it can be eaten with anything; stew, soup, pepper. So today you get to see what banku is and how it’s even prepared.
This video was made the last time I went inside my mom’s kitchen. I don’t know for other people but for my very African mother, she doesnt like it when I enter her kitchen with cameras and all so I had to bribe her.
I also had to bribe her to use her special pan for the stew because there’s something magical about it. I can’t explain. And oh she says it’s older than me and doesnt play with it at all.
Also, the special ingredient for banku is love. Trust me, I learned how to cook banku when I was 12 years. If you cook with anger, hatred and any other unpleasant emotions, it won’t come out great.
Enjoy the video.

How is it called Garden Egg Stew when the Garden Egg is only like 15% of the stew, and literally the simplest part of the recipe?😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
It’s the main ingredient and totally changes the taste of the stew.
Ho no!😂 The Garden Egg wasn’t even the main character in its own movie.😂😂😂

It was the stew thickener I guess, so makes sense to say "garden egg stew"
That's some love between you two
I need me that unbreakable jug though... for testing.
🤣🤣
Please not my mum’s jug😂
Aww, I kept smiling because of your brother especially when he says this is something, something something. 😂
You guys make a great team for shooting a video. It was so nice watching how to make garden egg stew. I will definitely give this a try and see how it tastes. As for the banku, what is that?
Don’t mind him🤣🤣
After he said he cooked the food🤣
That corn dough and cassava dough mixed and stirred till it hardened.
He is funny. A Fante indeed. 🤭
Oh! Nicey. Thank you, baby girl. 🥰

After a thousand "this is me...."the food was finally ready.😂
Ask him where we can get all the "something something " in his recipe because if I try it and doesn't come out this way,it will not be funny 😂
You guys were really entertaining.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this made me laugh so much
Yea please, I will definitely ask him for you 🤣
Thank youuuu☺️
Well done with the edits!! You two are very funny 🌼

This was honestly so lovely to watch! You can just feel the good vibes through the video. And hearing the voices while seeing the chicken being prepared and the swallows made it feel so real and homely. Also, I completely get the part about mums guarding their special kitchen things, it’s the same in my house too haha. Honestly, the food already looks like it’s made with pure love!
This was lovely to read. Thank you Maryjane ❤️
