The Beauty of Slow Living | An Ancestral Meal, Autumn Soup and Memories

Welcome to another slow living vlog 🍂 In this vlog, I’m sharing slow rainy days, warm autumn soup, and an ancestral meal that brought back memories of my mother. I’m making homemade agidi, a food passed down through generations. Preparing it reminded me of everything my mother taught me and the care our mothers put into cooking. This became an emotional journey through food, memories, and gratitude. From soaking the grains to blending, sieving, cooking, and wrapping, every step connected me to her. It also brought me back to nature. The banana leaves gave the food a lovely scent and were later composted, returning to the earth — a beautiful cycle 🌿 In this vlog: Slow rainy days Homemade autumn soup Preparing agidi from scratch Wrapping food in banana leaves Enjoying agidi with my favourite egusi soup Remembering my mother and my ancestors Connecting with nature through cooking and composting 🥣 Autumn soup ingredients: Pumpkin (red kuri squash) Leek Carrots Potatoes Garlic Celeriac Tomatoes Salt Meat stock 🌽 Agidi ingredients: Guinea corn (sorghum) and corn Water Salt This video was made with love and appreciation for my mother, my ancestors, and above all, God who created me.
