Esi Tries It
Esi recreates dishes, trends and restaurant plates, then shows you the photo result and exactly what she changed.
Testing that viral plantain pancake stack
Esi's take: I swapped the sugar for very ripe plantain and browned the butter first. Sweeter, less cloying.
A restaurant peanut soup, remade at home
Esi's take: I kept the scotch bonnet whole and skimmed the oil twice for a cleaner broth.
