About Me

I'm Daniel, a chef, food nerd, and full-time flavor chaser. My journey into vegan cooking started with curiosity and turned into a lifestyle I now share with thousands online. I love reimagining Nigerian classics in new plant-based ways, but I’m not afraid to experiment beyond borders. Whether it’s for one plate or one hundred, I believe food should be vibrant, creative, and full of joy.
