2004 My first attempt at cooking...
Heavily spiced and half-cooked! That’s how my first attempt at cooking turned out. It was the day of my father’s passing…
The atmosphere at home was gloomy, none of my older siblings cared to cook. So, 12 year old me
decided to brighten the mood by cooking a pot of jollof rice.
It was a disaster (lol)… But it lit a fire in my belly. And instead of drowning myself in oceans of my own tears, I decided to become the main cook at home – even though I was the baby-girl of the house.
2013 Young girl with BIG dreams!
I was a young girl with mammoth-sized dreams. But society forced me to toe-the-line… So, I played it safe and chucked my passions for making it BIG in the culinary arts to the back burner.
Like most people… straight out of the University of Lagos, I got a job. It was high-paying and could be
considered a dream job for most people my age…
But I always caught my mind wandering. Ideas for creating fresh new recipes.. Imagining aromas and flavours… Mmmhhh!! So, I started blogging about my recipes as a hobby…
2015 Yeaa!! We just went viral on the socials...
Out of nowhere, one of my recipe blog posts went viral, and I got invited to a cooking contest in Lagos.
Armed with thousands of hours experimenting all sorts of foods and ingredients… I took on the
challenge and came through with cash prizes and awards. A few of my unique recipes were also
adopted by some top restaurants, and are still being served today…
And this sudden acclaim and publicity got me the opportunity to host a cooking show on Loveworld TV.
2016 TV host with a difference...
As a cooking show host, I was excited at the opportunity to put African cuisine on the map. I want everyone in the world to taste and enjoy African dishes.
But, I wished for more…
I wanted my audience to enjoy African and continental dishes in a healthier way. So, I dedicated two years to studying nutrition. I gained a deeper knowledge of foods, food ingredients and our bodies’ relationship with food.
