My mission is to help you enjoy good food and live a happier, healthier life – without compromising on life’s tasty pleasures. But before we get started on your thrilling escapade with heavenly aromas and mind-numbing tastes… Here are just a few tidbits about my journey so far.
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.
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…
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.
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.
The dream to make it BIG in the culinary arts was back alive and well. I was charged, eager and super inspired to burst out. But, I was scared and second-guessing myself. One question lingered in my head…
Was I ready?
If ever I needed my dad’s comforting voice, it was now!
Should I continue in the security of a job or break into the culinary arts which inspires me… It was seductive, exciting but filled with uncertainty.
It was a sweltering Monday morning, and I had made my decision the night before. I slid my resignation letter across the table to my boss.
Even though at the time I had meager resources, little to no business connections and zero business
experience… I knew I had something that’ll help a lot of people.
The Zeelicious Foods Company was born…
And our YouTube channel grew from 0-50,000
subscribers within 6 months.
I’ve been taking care of business and it seems the Internet has taken notice…
A flourishing business, Zeelicious Foods now serves over 500,000 people and has recently launched a food catering service called Lush Treats by Zeelicious Foods where we cater to your individual food needs, social functions, corporate events, etc.
