The Ataadi range of Meaty & Seafood Chilli Sauces (A West African Food Brand)

 

Ataadi Chilli Sauces
Handcrafted Slow cooked Chilli Sauces

“Ataadi” in the Ewe language from Ghana & Togo means Sauces, Stews and Chillies. The slow cooked Meaty & Seafood Ataadi Chilli sauces encapsulates the Ataadi meaning by offering different flavours and textures within the range.

Over a 10 year period of developing recipes inspired by my West African heritage, I’ve hosted cookery shows on TV, shared almost lost ancient West African cooking methods and written about the health benefits of underrated African ingredients; I decided to launch https://www.buyndudu.com ; a small West African online deli business specialising in unique clay smoked spice blends, seasonings and chilli sauces after loosing my job in late 2020. Amongst the innovative and creative products available, let me share a little bit of history behind the brand ‘Buy Ndudu’ and in particular the ‘Ataadi Chilli Sauces’.

The ‘Ataadi’ range of sauces honours my Mum’s traditional cooking methods, family secret recipes fused with a modern day interpretation from my 30 years of cooking.

The Ataadi range of sauces are best described as the “Taste of the Sea” and steeped in my heritage (where my village Aflao in the Volta Region of Ghana) is surrounded by the Sea and Coconut trees.

Each Ataadi chilli sauces bottle is made with cold pressed organic Coconut oil, charred Red Peppers, West African Spices and includes chunks of Meat, Seafood and ready to use for your Rice, Pasta, Plantain, Yam, Sandwich, Potatoes dishes etc..

THE RANGE

A total of 8 different flavours make the range of our Ataadi Chilli sauces;

Smoked Hake; cooked in cold pressed Coconut organic oil, charred Red Pepperss & West African spices

Domedo; Apple smoked Pork, smoked Bacon & Smoked Pancetta slow cooked in cold pressed organic Coconut oil, charred Red Peppers & West African spices

Abobi Tadi; Anchovies, Herbs & Green Chillies slow cooked in cold pressed organic Olive oil

Goat Meat & Shrimps; slow cooked in a charred Red Pepper sauce infused with West African spices and in cold pressed organic coconut oil

Toloo Beefy (Cured Beef) with cold pressed organic coconut oil, charred Red Peppers Shrimps & West African spices

Koobi (Cured Fish) with charred Red Peppers, cold pressed organic coconut oil & Shrimps

Black King Prawns with charred Peppers, cold pressed organic coconut oil  & West African Spices

The West African 3 Chilli Vegan Pesto in cold pressed organic coconut oil.

 

The handcrafted, slow cooked in a ClayPot, Ataadi range of Chilli sauces also honours my heritage and how our ancestors used ClayPots in cooking. The traditional method of slow cooking in a ClayPot requires time to allow the natural flavours of the ingredients to develop perfectly. This method is shunned by most as it’s time consuming and costly.

Buy Ndudu believes in reviving the traditional West African cooking methods and healthy lifestyle through our products. The recipes are exclusive to Buy Ndudu as they’re created by our in house Flavour Creator Fafa; hence you won’t find them anywhere else. The slow cooked Ataadi Chilli sauces are freshly made once a month on a Pre – Order basis, made in small batches using fresh, premium and organic ingredients.

LOVE BEGINS WITH YOU

LOVE BEGINS WITH YOU

Love is gentle, love is kind , love is beyond what the eye can see, it’s an unwavering connection that stands against all seasons of life.

With that being said, the greatest love is the kind we give ourselves. The kind of love that forgives our past mistakes, that repairs our brokenness, that strengthens us and that makes us look for a deeper connection with everything we do.

How can you love another when you don’t love yourself?

How can you give love when you doubt yourself and capabilities?

How can you give love when you put yourself down and thus increase your self doubt?

How can you give love when you feel you’re not deserving of love?

How can you identity what is love, when you’re busy pleasing everyone else instead?

How can you give love when you hide your true self for the fear of being hurt?

How can you find love when you relate love to material things?

Loving yourself means discipline, self acceptance of your strengths and weaknesses, appreciating the priceless moments that makes you smile, listening to your inner voice and relating to people the way you will like to be treated.

Understanding being vulnerable and walking away when a situation doesn’t suit your needs is strength and not a weakness. This realisation only comes from loving yourself.

Love will make you vulnerable and strong at the same time. You can’t accept love without pain, they go hand in hand. However how you see ‘pain’ is based on your interpretation.

Loving yourself allows you to be selective with the kind of people you want around you. People that compliments your personality, your vulnerability and help you grow each day.

Loving yourself means you can only love a selected few and tolerate others if you want to. This means you’re exerting your power of choice.

Loving yourself means you have a deeper understanding you’re not meant to be loved back by all and by the same token others will also tolerate you or avoid you altogether.

Loving yourself means you’re at peace with yourself and connected to your spiritual self.

Loving yourself means maturity and understanding the complexities of humans. A realisation that exposes you to the strengths and weaknesses of others, which you can choose to love, tolerate or walk away.

Loving yourself means you don’t seek revenge on people who have betrayed you. The experience should teach you exactly what you don’t want and seek what makes you complete.

Loving yourself means you’re responsible for your actions and reactions. Understanding whatever decision you make comes with a sacrifice. A sacrifice you’re willing to give and not coerced to giving.

Understanding your physical self will attract all sorts, however your inner beauty will keep those that are meant to be to stay in your life.

The realisation that the roots of the kind of love you want lies solely with you, gives you the freedom to love in your own way.

Why not begin the self love train by treating yourself to an amazing recipe below;

Happy Valentine’s Day folks❤️
