How did your love for food and cooking begin?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nGrowing up, we never bought food outside. My grandma never bought food outside because she believed it to be more expensive and unhygienic. Every meal we ate, we cooked by ourselves. And most of the time I did the cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, I developed a flair for cooking and since I liked food, it was just natural to love how to cook it. I decided then that I will turn it into a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell us about your best cooking memories.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I won’t say I have one best cooking memory, but there was a time when I was serving and the people in my room knew that I loved to cook. They hadn\u2019t tasted my food but I was able to communicate my passion to them so strongly that they even started going outside and telling people that Grace can cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then people believed them and were like, \u201cif Grace can cook let her cook Jollof rice. So they gave me all the ingredients and left everything for me to cook. Prior to that, I had never made jollof rice before. When I eventually did, it didn\u2019t turn out as nice as it was supposed to, as someone that was just hyped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Till today, I don\u2019t know what happened (laughs) but they still had faith in me because they gave me another opportunity to cook ogbono soup. This time, I outdid myself and they kept asking \u201cwho cooked this food?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So with that soup, I was able to redeem myself. That time was memorable for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
