Description

In this episode, Atim Ukoh, the culinary innovator and educator behind AfroLems, joins Chefs Wu and Chef Vee to explore the power of storytelling in shaping Nigeria’s food identity.

She reflects on how AfroLems began as a personal experiment in Toronto and grew into one of Nigeria’s most influential culinary brands—one that documents, teaches, and reimagines local cuisine.

The conversation traces the evolution of Nigerian food storytelling, from its post-colonial influences to the untold regional dishes that deserve more recognition. Ukoh also shares why she sees food as both culture and communication, how she uses creativity to push beyond convention, and why authenticity must anchor every story we tell.

So excited to take it 'One Bite at a Time' with you all!
