Those are excellent counter questions. Because people in their homes don't cut their nails and don't put on headscarves when they're cooking in their own kitchens.

The end product silences all questions. Yummy

I don’t do any of that nor does my mom and aunts. You are perfectly fine just the way you are doing thing! 😊

All I know is that when you broke that pie; I forgot about those comments 🤣🤣🤣

I love your videos. I am watching you all the way from Baltimore MD in the USA. My beautiful African sister it sounds like people are hating on you. Keep making your wonderful videos where I can learn about the mother land and all of its beautiful cuisine. 😘

Mike Tyson once said, and I'm Paraphrasing. "..Man the internet has made it easier for people to be disrespectful because you can't punch them on the face." I totally share his sentiments. People are just mad weird on the internet. Do your thing just as you are mama. We love you. ❤🙌🏾

If you was a chef in the work place nails would have to be short. But what you do in your home is your business long as your nails don't fall in the food and choke nobody 😊

I really hate how people like to dampen the spirits of other people. One thing I learnt was even if you drink water, people will still complain that you're chewing too loudly. The issue is in real life, 99% of those criticising you dont have anything going on for them like you do. I cook without an apron or headcover and definitely wear long nails because I'm comfortable cooking with it. Madam please ignore them, they will still talk even if you start using an apron or headcover saying that it's not colourful enough

Ify, I followed the instructions on the milk soaked red meat and cooked for my husband, the stew is delicious 😋my hubby asked what I did, thanks for sharing.

I am really grateful ma for your consistency, my name is Obinna Emmanuel Akunne from FUT Minna in Nigeria state. I have really improved my cooking journey. I also follow all your videos. Much love nne ❤❤🔥🔥

Please we need the description of this recipe, only

Mama Ify most people don't do these things they're telling you, for real........don't mind them, you're really excellent at what you do. Personally I appreciate it because you're free and fun when you do your stuff.

I wasn't the one that made those comments however, please permit me to respond to the comments. I think the basic reasons for such comments may be: 1. Wearing an apron is just to protect your dress from getting stained during cooking. 2. Covering your hair with a scarf is to prevent falling hairs from getting into the food you are making 3. Cutting your finger nails is to prevent you from getting injured when kneading, give you a better grip of kitchen utensils and also to prevent food particles from getting stuck in your finger nails. I think these are just kitchen ethics and safety measures 😊😊😊

I really enjoy watching you cooking!

Are these similar to beef Patties? These looks great ❤

Just do what works for you lol. Am I supposed to take off my nails because I’m cooking 😂. Only thing I’d be concerned about is my hair getting in my food though

Your cooking environment is very neat and you do your cooking meticulously, well done Ma . ❤

No matter what you do, some people out there are always on the negative sides. You are not in any cooking class with anyone! More so, you are not cooking for them to eat. Never mind them, you are doing a great work.

Can u please give the filling recipe for the pies

I had not even noticed any of the 3 comments mentioned. I used to focus more on your nice presentations & the recipes. You are just fine to me ❤🎉.

Hi Ify, I have watched very many of your videos, and I must say you are an amazing cook. Well, personally not putting on a scarf or apron or not covering the hair as you make food for your family is totally fine. However, I have noticed that, if the hair is not covered, it tends to carry the aroma of the food you are cooking, imagine if it's a native soup, omo!...lol, you won't like the smell of the hair later after it has mixed with sweat .Also, depending on the hair, you might want to cover because of hair particles entering the food. So, yes, I think it's idle to cover the hair. But for nails , depends on if you can handle long nails, and you cook neatly, because of germs that can be harbored under the nails. Then for the apron, I don't think it's necessary...lol, the cloth will still be dirty regardless, except of cause you need the apron pockets!...lol

Well Ify, people appreciate you, that's why ...and seeing you as a Kitchen Guru, they think you should bring on the table/ exemplify all the etiquette required in the kitchen from the looks to the prep to ensure food safety and such like. No jokes, but in a meal once prepared by a chef we engaged as a family for an occasion, we found a full finger nail in the food. We've not used that Chef again, no never. So well, I think it's more from a positive perspective when such comments are made. Well done Ify for your lovely recipes.

Please after butter what did you put next🙏😢

They want to disturb my Ify... The truth is that your cooking style is relatable to us. We like you like this. 70% of us cook like this. Don't feel pressured to do what you are not comfortable with.

You look fine don’t worry about what people say

I really like your cooking

This is a classic way to address the comments. Love it, sis❤❤

Sister Ify just let them know you are only cooking for your family and they are not complaining😂❤

GURL YOU ARE STUNNING DON'T LISTEN TO THOSE HATERS☺️☺️

I am not watching the comment , just liking the recipe looks delicious . Thank you for sharing.❤🙏🏿💕

I just wanted to know the filling....it overall looked SCRUMPTIOUS!

You are fine the way you are. This is not a restaurant ❤😂

At least you are clean and your Kitchen is beautiful and the food looks yummy keep up that good cooking ❤❤❤❤

Sis Ify don’t mind them it what makes you comfortable that you do as long as your recipes are good that enough

Please can I get a video from start to finish on this fried meat pie procedures it so enticing and I love to make some but I don’t have an oven 😢

Can you please share this recipe? Thanks

Putting on apron is just for the protection of your clothes, so you don’t soil them, putting in a cap is not for the camera but for the purpose of hygiene, nobody wants hair in their food or pastry, I’ve seen a few.

I think people always have things to say when they won’t even do these things themselves. I think you look fine. No need to change anything keep up the great work.❤❤

Even if I wear aprons or tie scalfs in my kitchen, it is none of my business telling someone else to do same. Do what you are comfortable with. We love you. ❤️

What are the ingredients

Love, as long as you show me how to cook African food I am ok what you do in your home it's your business . We are not I 1860 Keep do your things Love you 🤟😘

You are awesome the way u do things ...i looove ur cooking and how you explain it .❤....it's about food not you....those who wear are chefs at a restaurant not home...

Those COMMENTS ARE FROM JEALOUS HATERS. IGNORE THOSE CRAZY HATERS.

Just do you.. you're a professional, if something is not right you would know❤ And I think your nails are lovely 💅😍

That was good 🌹🥀🍓🍒🍑🥪🍕🌭🧀🥩

Those saying that don't even know the way to the kitchen in their own home abeg don't mind them hugs from 🇹🇬

Ify we love you and appreciate what you do. The truth is one, ever job/ work has ethics , cooking or being a chef has it ethics, wearing white uniform, a head cover and apron is for a reason not fashion. white to maintain hygiene, head cover to prevent hair getting into you food and apron to protect your clothes. At home we ignore all this rules becouse no one will qurred such actions but in a food factory or standard restaurant where you are paying huge amount of money for a meal ...you will definitely expect professionalism and high lever hygiene which includes clean and short nails.

I only use apron when I’m frying stuff and I feel like it would splatter all over my clothes or transfer the oil smell. Or if I’m cutting meat and I don’t want it to stain my clothes.

My mom likes to make the same food like you but in a different way

I don't wear an apron or scarf when cooking. Honestly speaking I have not seen anything inappropriate if you wear it or not, what works for Mrs A might not work for Mrs B. Just be yourself and keep cooking good meals.

Truthfully speaking, I don't always wear an apron, cover my hair nor keep my nails short when I cook... I sometimes even forget I own an apron. Thanks for the easy pie recipe... Will be sure to give it a try❤❤❤

I don't do any of those things either & I'm pretty sure you do the same things I do: If I spill something on my clothes, no problem, I'm putting them in the wash when I'm done anyway. I wash my hands & scrub my long, manicured nails before I start cooking & I wash & scrub them after I'm done. I don't wear a hair covering when I'm cooking at home & I've never seen professional chefs or social media cooks doing so either. Don't let anyone steal your joy in creating your videos.

💞🤤🥵😳😲👍👩🧑‍🎓this looks delicious

Its nice🥰😋😋

Whats that yellow ingredient you put into the flour.. Is it butter??

May I please have a recipe of this

To where an apron prevent your clothes from getting dirty. Cover hair it prevents hair going into food

Pls Do you need to add baking powder?

You are great as you re, accommodating me very well...❤

What's that yellow stuff you added to the flour before pouring water? Btw, your pie looks good like bread from heaven. 😊

I like the way you do things ❤️ Yummy 💃💃

You doing a great job keep up the good work 😚❤. ALL the way from Dayton Ohio.

Hygiene is important when it comes to food. It's an industry. Wear correctly. 😅

Wow, they fry meat pie? ify can you give us the recipe for this meat pie

Don't bother the comments, they didn't apply those areas that they are raising. Thumbs up 👍, you're great 👍

Nice work Ify

Honey Chile, you do you. The main ones complaining are haters. No one wears aprons, cut nails or wear a head net. Unless you cooking in a restaurant 😊

If you are cooking in your own home you do as you please. God Bless.

Well for me I wear an apron when I do plenty cooking or I'm dressed to go out but that's a personal choice. I don't cover my hair ever, and my nails are relatively short so it doesn't count. Do what you are comfortable with in your house.

Sometimes people just have to mind their own business !! 😅 Your videos are excellent, everything look clean in your kitchen and it seems very tasty, so keep going Ify !! 😊🥰

Wearing a hairnet is important as hair has a way to get into food. Long nails are pretty but really not sanitary. It traps a lot of bad microorganisms. I hesitate to eat from people who prepare food with long nails. Short nails are a requirement in many places based on good food safety practices. That's my input.

Love your videos ❤

That’s right in my custom lgbos you have to cover your head to avoid being burnt by fire.

I love meat pies, Scottish, Jamaican and Spanish

You sre doing great! Keep it up!❤

Well I don't care about that because I love the fact that you make some jokes...

Ify you an amazing woman I love your cooking sessions I learnt a new skills at all times with you

Waooo

Those people are simply jealous and HAVE to find a way to discredit you in some way.

Bless You ❤🙏

Honey, don't even stress it doesn't matter what you do, people will always have something to say. You are amazing so please ignore the hater's. I'm your supporter from the U.S. and I'm learning so much from you.

The white substance you added was it wheat or sugar abeg, share ingredients for this meat pie

❤

My dear I've been waiting for this video for a long time, thanks darling

❤❤

Ify doesn't has to wear hair net, apron she not inside a restaurant when ify at home cooking for her own daily families members & friends ! Ify not catering for whom ever making those negative comments most of all ify nails nails are fine its ify free will..whom ever made these comments fine urself a life focus why be jealousy over ify hair, nails & clothing ify not employed as ur nanny nor house cook nor slave what a hater😮😊😅😂🎉❤

Sweet darling....keep doing the good job 😍😘😚😙😗👍👍👍. For a professional chef or health personal knows you are just ignoring some hygiene principles. And because what you do is more like a hubby and you cook small portion meal,if you cook large meals for 8 hours a day and 6 days a week, definitely you will need a Apron, head cover and keep short nails for convenience. Apron , head cover, short clean nails is all about personal hygiene. The camera reveal your personality and millions all over the world is watching. Be Bless

Again I will try 😊

It's your food. Your kitchen. So what does it matter? You aren't feeding the people that comment, so it's none of their business. You could get flour all over you, but they aren't washing your clothes. You could get a hair in your food, but they aren't eating it. You do you. Ignore the haters. They would find something else to complain about anyway. You can't worry about what haters say. Your food looks delicious, and I would have no problem eating anything you make.

I love it show me more places🥞🍗🌮🌮

You look beautiful every time ❤

It’s ur kitchen auntie do what makes u happy and forget ppl

You can’t please all the people all the time. Some people are just negative. Instead of learning and enjoying the are of your cooking, you are looking for reasons to criticize. You ask the right questions. Does RR wear a cap on her shoes? Julia Child might have loved her apron, but it was her personal preference. Their cooking was done in a studio. One love.

Continue with your stylish presentations. We like it the way you do. Press ignore to negative comments ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
