A message from our Chef Stella:

“I grew up in Nigeria and started cooking and growing food from a very young age. I LOVE food! I love cooking, sharing food with others and the way that it brings people together. I didn’t have the opportunity to go to school and instead worked at a young age in my mother’s street food restaurant making akara, a popular cake made from beans, plantain, and her own creation, a special snack called meat pie. Her food was very popular as it was so yummy! We had a small farm where we would grow our own aubergines, okra, mango, palm, beans, yam and other delicious vegetables. Everything was organic and tasted so much better than the ingredients you get in the supermarkets over here. Arriving to England, I was stuck in an abusive situation with a man who promised me opportunities and took advantage of me. I experienced a lot of racism and abuse and felt very scared.

After three and a half years, a friend helped me escape. I found support with the Helen Bamber Foundation and joined a choir, a photography group, a hiking club. They also introduced me to Migrateful to continue developing my main passion-- cooking! I would love to have a garden or an allotment, or even a farm, to grow my own vegetables. I want to be a chef, to write my own recipes and to be able to make the best food, caring for the ingredients from seed to plate.”
