In driving more nourishment for Nigerians through its ‘Pecadomo’ – Peak can do more campaign, Peak Milk was recently at Irebawa Street, Ogba-Ikeja, Lagos for the neighbourhood storm where the brand showcased before residents the various ways Peak Milk can be used in cooking.
Despite the threat of an afternoon rain, adults and children residing in the area trooped in front of the Peak Milk truck which had been transformed into a mobile kitchen to experience culinary diversity by the Pecadomo team.
After a warm welcome and a brief introduction to the objective of the campaign, which is to present Nigerians with more ways to stay nourished in these times using their Peak milk, four dishes were transformed with Peak milk.
According to the diary company in a statement, “Eggs are usually enjoyed during breakfast in many Nigerian homes because of its high nutritional value. In this regard, the first dish prepared was ‘Peak Scrambled Egg’ which was made with eggs, black pepper, salt, margarine and Peak milk.
“The resulting dish was a creamier and more nutritious scrambled egg which can be served with bread. Peak milk also worked well in the omelet dish giving the omelet a unique colour, aroma and flavor. The residents/on lookers who volunteered to be part of the taste session attested to this.”
Similarly, the Peak Oat pancake was prepared. Instead of flour, this pancake was made with blended oats, eggs, nutmeg, sugar, butter, salt and Peak evaporated milk. Not only did the pancakes turn out creamier and tastier, they also contained high fibre which is excellent for people who desire to lose weight.
As a healthy lunch dish, the chef prepared the popular Peak milk rice which was plain white rice boiled in milk and water. It was served with chicken stew.
Smoothies are fast becoming popular in Nigeria with many people opting for the healthier lifestyle. Hence, the Pecadomo (Peak can do more) team also prepared a Banana, chocolate and Peak milk smoothie (Peak Bachos) with chopped bananas, ice cubes, Peak choco, honey and Peak liquid milk. With a fast but quick mix in the blender, the smoothie was ready to the delight and enjoyment of onlookers.
Sharing her experience of the Pecadomo campaign, Mrs. Grace Philips, a businesswoman said that although she loves smoothies and made them often, the addition of Peak Milk made a great difference. “I have been making smoothies for many years now but this Banana and Peak Smoothie makes me smile.”
For Mrs. Martha Ugwu, a businesswoman, the Peak scrambled egg tasted so nice and was highly nutritious hence, she promised to add Peak milk to her eggs especially for her children.
A regular consumer of Peak milk, Miss Funke Abiola said she has always trusted the Peak brand hence she was not surprised that they are bringing fresh ideas of how Peak milk can give more value adding “I have always used Peak Milk but I am pleasantly surprised by this. I don’t like eggs but I would definitely try the Smoothie and pancake at home.”
A banker, Mrs. Deborah Akinwehinmi who equally ate the Peak milk rice expressed her delight at learning how to prepare rice in a different way. “Initially, I was sceptical about how the Milk Rice would taste, but it was surprisingly delicious – creamy, smooth and flavourful. I am sure my family would love it when I prepare it for them this weekend,” she added.
Residents were also given nutritional tips as well as some cooking tips by the chef who also directed the audience to facebook.com/peakmilk for more recipes.
The Pecadomo campaign train promised it will be stopping at different locations across the country, imploring residence to be ready as it could be in any neighbourhood next.
