Potatoes Month!

The ACN Eat and Chill Whatsapp group was created on 2nd May, 2020, with the aim of bringing together people with interests in cooking, trying and sharing recipes.
It was headed by Chioma Muotoh and Pelumi Ipede.
We had a weekly schedule of introducing guest cooks every Monday and having the group admins share their own recipes every Wednesday.
Recipes shared include potato and minced meat, potato croquets, bread,fruit parfait, amongst others. It indeed was a potato month.
