Before you go

Yam porridge is great for lunch or dinner. No cooking experience is required to make yam porridge. Many people can cook it. Children under eight need supervision from a parent or a nanny.

Be creative and do what works for you with yam, vegetables, and fruits. I recommend a personal chef if you choose not to prepare your meal or don't have the time to cook. Check Google for a private local personal chef.
