Introducing CODE’s Generations, a new series which sees the young talent from CODE’s annual 30 Under 30 list meet their industry heroes, mentors and role models.

It’s a chance for both sides to swap notes, trade stories and talk career paths.

Private chef Opeoluwa Odutayo (@chef_opy), one of our 30 Under 30 from 2024-25, and Adejoké Bakare (@jokebakare), chef and owner of Chishuru and one of CODE’s Woman of the Year 2024, are already well acquainted from Chishuru’s Brixton days, when Ope would stick her head through the door and Joké – “the eternal auntie” – would give her something to eat.

The respect the two women have for each other and for each other’s journeys is a pleasure to witness.
Head to the link in bio to read their conversation in full.

The ÀṢÀ MI Supperclub was such a success. 🤎

Taking African culture and cuisine into spaces that don’t always get the opportunity to experience it , bringing people together to break bread, share stories, connect and enjoy an evening of good food and even better company.

It was so special to see people from different backgrounds come together around one table, in such an iconic space @winchestercathedral @winchestercathedralcafe @fuel_experiences

A beautiful evening of culture, connection and community. ✨

Thank you to everyone who came, shared, listened and helped make it such a memorable evening.

My plea to UK chefs and food businesses: let’s go beyond the usuals and showcase the hidden flavours of our food heritage.

Use more ancient grains, beans and traditional ingredients and let’s keep celebrating our food cultures beyond October, all year round.❤️

Let’s talk service
I don’t play about service at all.

I’ve always seen it as our food, not just the chef’s.
Every plate represents the whole team from the kitchen to the person placing it on the table. That’s why even something as simple as carrying the plate and where you put your fingers matters.

@chef_oishii_garcea caught me red handed making sure it’s all good 😂

A few little bites, packed with big flavour. ✨

I was given the brief to create a taste of home(Nigeria) for an event, so I reimagined familiar favourites into elegant, bite-sized experiences:

✨ Jollof arancini with truffle & Parmesan
✨ Moi Moi with avocado mousse & dehydrated cherry tomatoes
✨ Plantain custard tart & suya meat floss
✨ Garri, coconut & lemon curd cake

@ukblackchefsnetwork had the pleasure of being part of a truly special event at @binghamriverhouse — a beautiful Black woman-owned boutique hotel, bar and restaurant.

Hosted for the @blackfeministfund , the event was catered by @the_futureplate and @chishuru , with the kitchen led by our very own Michelin-starred Chef @jokebakare . Guests enjoyed incredible canapés by @chef_opy , followed by a thoughtfully curated three-course West African fine dining menu.

It was an amazing experience working alongside such a talented team of chefs. We collaborated seamlessly, shared knowledge, discovered new West African flavours and techniques, and created something truly memorable together.

Opportunities like this are a reminder of the power of representation, collaboration and excellence within our industry. Grateful to have been part of it.
