Variety of Dishes lavishly and tastefully displayed to invite and tempt people who want to feed their stomach. At Mama puts or Bukkas dotted around each city, you find bankers, civil servants and artisans jostling to buy food at these spots.

Madam give me Amala with efo riro, shaki, roundabout and pomo- they shout at the top of their voices.

In other cases, if you don’t like mama put, then the fancy restaurants is the place you frequent. While you regularly patronise these restaurants every day, have you ever considered cooking for yourself?

Of course, you are very busy and you have to leave home early in the morning and return late and this will not give you time to cook. Perhaps, these reasons shared by Kikiotolu.com will encourage you to cook instead of eating out every day.

1. You can trust what you eating
For those who eat out often, they are not in the know of the kind of ingredients that have been used in preparing the food. It what they are served that they eat. But if you cook at home, you have the discretion to add the content you without any worries.

2. You perfect your cooking skills
Men have the tendency to eat out more than women even though you find both genders at the mama put. Regardless, if you want to improve or perfect your cooking skills, it is not by visiting restaurants. You can find time out of your tight to cook. For the men who cook at home, they can brag to friends about their cooking skills and they can show off their cooking skills to their significant other. It is definitely a wonderful feeling.

3. You save money
You have to spend nothing less than N500 to eat at your favourite restaurants daily. But if you cook, you won’t spend such an amount. Every penny is worth saving in this current recession.

4. You make healthier choices
Many of the foods you consume at restaurants are processed foods due to the ingredients they are used. Cooking at home not only help you select your own ingredients but ensure that you make choices that will not negatively affect your health.

5. It builds better relationships
Imagine one of those days your girlfriend who is always coming around to cook for and you told are not to bother about cooking. You will do it. Even though it may not be perfect, she will love you more. In fact, some women say that they prefer men who know how to cook. So, don’t be afraid to show off your culinary skills to your significant other.

Nice

I can't avoid eating out because of the nature of my work but I cook whenever I can .

Nothing beats home cooking
It's always comfortable.


Except when u have to get up early for work, omo, either toasted bread for morning, or bread and akara o.

Then find square root for lunch

saying cooking at home saves money is seriously up for debate, cos I don't agree. do you know how much vegetable oil retails for? A derica of beans is 250, rice 350 or there about. not to talk off the price of kerosene and gas. you can eat out and eat healthy na, oyinbos are the ones who eat processed foods jor.

its toast bread, not toasted

Are the plates and pots romancing? Why is this here?

Well-done Op.
Nice one

For unmarried people, Eating outside is more economical than home cooking if we look at it that angle.
I eat outside when I am at work mainly during afternoon.

True, but funny enough, toasted bread is still used.

But i think toast is the right word though.

not applicable to bachelor like me biko

I have always prepared my food by myself, I hardly eat outside unless I am seriously hungry.

the day i will manage to cook u will see u urchins popping out from every corner with plates & spoon

u will need 2500 to prepare a decent pot of soup & the soup won't even last up-to 3days

Not applicable to me. Better to eat out and be sure you are going to have something nice to eat than to make concoctions in the name of trying to save money.

3 n 4 are lies
eating outside dey save moni for me pass

This is ITbomb

ITbomb lives in a sweet neat apartment

ITbomb doesn't worry about flies or smells

ITbomb do not have unwashed plates and dishes

ITbomb eats outside

Be like ITbomb

I think is nice to cook at home without any reason.

My best department

Ok..

Its not always that you save money cooking at home. For instance for me to cook 2 cups of beans at home I need to burn my gas or kerosene for 1hr, buy crayfish N50, pepper palm oil etc, calculate the cost yourself.
But I can go to a restaurant close to my house and buy already cooked beans for N100 and it will be enough for one meal because the restaurant cooks in bulk.

Me I don't even know wch wan jawe.

Throughout my five years in the university, I don't think I ate outside up five times. I find it very difficult to foods cooked by other people; even my closest friends.
As an undergraduate, I used to buy 25kg rice every semester and filled I my 7kg gas cylinder twice every semester. Flour and other baking ingredients never lacked in my house.
I cook in the morning and bake with my oven in the evening.

I can't recall the last time i cook in my house, i cook very well but no time

Number 2 is so on point. Then 3 and 4. When I started cooking for myself, I remember adding too much or too little of either salt or pepper. Sometimes I forget to add pepper at all.

Now I cook better. Last week I was at the market to buy ingredients for egusi and uziza and one lady kept looking and asked whether I'll be making the soup myself. I said yes. She looked pleased and told me how her brother can't cook anything.

Wetin concern me?

Oshey, statistician of the federation. N100 beans is not enough for a meal here in Owerri.

...says who?.....either of them is correct

Cooking ur own food is actually cheaper. By d time u buy all ur ingredients and consumables, it might look like u have spent more money. But when u begin to use them, some of them might last for over a month. Also, u cook 2 milk cups of rice and u will eat it twice or 3 times.
