‘Queen of fakeaway’ shares how to make McDonald’s McMuffins and KFC chicken at home – for half the cost and calories
Blitz the bread until fine breadcrumbs in a blender. Put into a bowl and add all of the seasonings and mix until everything is blended together to create your coating.
She explained: "Lockdown is the perfect time to get the creative juices flowing. Most people have more free time to give a new recipe a go. "They also come in handy, because if I make an extra-large portion, I can keep the fakeaway in the tubs and have some as a Saturday night treat, too."Latoyah started experimenting in the kitchen when she left home, aged 18, adding: "Moving out meant I suddenly had to start cooking for myself.
While she enjoyed cooking, Latoyah was also partial to the occasional takeaway, and did not always maintain the healthiest eating habits."Chinese and Indian were my favourite - so I'd often treat myself.I wasn't happy with myself and I knew the takeaways weren't helpingBut five years ago, unhappy with her size 22 figure, Latoyah resolved to ditch the takeaways, recreating her favourite dishes using healthier and less calorific ingredients instead.
"When I tried to recreate it, I started with the chicken balls - trying to get the same flavour, without having to deep fry them."They were amazing and, honestly, I couldn't taste the difference."Latoyah's homemade prawn curry - she's tricked her mates into thinking they were eating an Indian takeaway beforeSpurred on by her success, after that Latoyah attempted to create a different fakeaway recipe most weeks."It's really easy.
"There are also so many side dishes with Nando's, which can be a challenge - but I've taught myself how to make the same style of spicy rice, halloumi and coleslaw." "So, whenever I make one, I wrap it in foil myself and leave it to sit for a little bit so it cools down, in the same way it would if it was delivered - then I eat it. It's always delicious."
"About half an hour after they started tucking in, I told them I'd cooked it and they couldn't believe it. 4) Make your fakeaway as much of an event as ordering a real takeaway. Get excited about it, and if all your family are in, make it for everyone
