The smell was already incredible, but the taste? It was a hundred times better!
Nnenna marveled at how people had been missing out on such a delicacy. "Grandpa, this is amazing! I've been missing out! How do you make these so good?"
The old man chuckled. "It's a special recipe. I can teach you if you want," he offered.
She blinked in surprise. Who just willingly shared their secret recipe like that? The fact that he trusted her enough to offer was shocking.
"No, no, Grandpa! You don't have to teach me," she waved her hands frantically. "I just want to help cook!"
He nodded approvingly. "Alright then, let's get started."
Right in front of her, he began preparing the dish again, moving with practiced ease, his hands swift yet precise. He did not mind that she was watching his every move, if anything, he seemed to enjoy it.
