Check out my recipe for cooking my egusi soup.

Egusi is an African term for melon seeds which are used in cooking different types of melon soup. Egusi soup is eaten with fufu, pounded yam, etc. These seeds are high in fat and protein, and they are an important part of West Africa cuisine. I have decided to cook my egusi soup just the way I like it. The recipe below will show you how I make my  Egusi Soup.

• 3 cups of egusi (melon seeds)

• 2 spoons fresh Iru
• Salt 
• 6 cubes of Maggi
• Ground crayfish/ fish powder

Style Edit: “Create your own style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.” ― Anna Wintour

“I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence."
- Yves Saint Laurent

"Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live."
— Gianni Versace

STYLE EDIT: Elegance is not standing out, but being remembered." —Giorgio Armani

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect, they are much more interesting." —Marc Jacobs

"What's my style is not your style, and I don’t see how you can define it. It’s something that expresses who you are in your own way.” —Iris Apfel

"As a woman gets older, it's more about style than fashion. A woman knowing herself more and more, and looking for new things, is getting into her own personal style, being more than just a fashion addict. I'm interested in that." —Nicolas Ghesquière

STYLE EDIT: You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it.

I think my style is a mix of quirky, eclectic, bright, and fun, with a really sophisticated feminine silhouette.

Elaine Welteroth
