THE FOOD DISCIPLE

Meet Princess Oroma, The recipes you will find on my blog are inspired by my background as well as my kitchen adventures. I am Nigerian but I currently live in Toronto, Canada. My passion for food kinda sprung out of the blue, it is not one of those stories you hear from most food bloggers or chefs; the only thing I was sure of was the fact that I like to eat (I was a chubby kid growing up ;)). The funny thing is growing up, I was not drawn to the kitchen or cooking for that matter. In fact my mum always had to force me in the kitchen because as an African girl, knowing how to cook is of utmost importance to get you ready for marriage lol. However, I did not know that being in the kitchen, I was subconsciously learning. I moved to Canada when I was 16 years old for school and while living without my parents in a foreign country, I found myself missing home food. At 17 years old, I went into the kitchen and made my first meal and I never stopped. My love and passion for food and cooking grew. The urge for wanting to try any and everything developed. The Food Network became my new home and I was recreating every recipe that intrigued me. I began capturing and documenting some of my recreations and original recipes, and when I had the courage to share with the world, The Food Disciple was born. On my blog, you will find recipes ranging from African, Asian to Italian cuisines. I cook based on how I feel, my cravings at the moment and most importantly what I am fascinated by. So be ready to see a whole range of recipes on my blog that you can recreate for your family, friends and loved ones. What I love the most about food is its versatility and how it brings different people together regardless of their background. Over the years, I have learned from as many people as I can, my mum being the real OG. I have taken some culinary classes, catered and worked at various restaurants. Through my blog I hope to inspire people to cook more and try something new. Cooking is indeed fun, health conscious because you know exactly what is going into your meals and most importantly economical (save your coins!).
