Born in Lagos,
Grown in Hackney
Blessing Adeyemi grew up watching her grandmother cook in Lagos — the slow-braised oxtail, the smoky jollof, the peanut stew that took three days. When she moved to London at 19, she carried those recipes in her memory.
"I didn't want to choose between the food I grew up with and the country I built my life in. So I stopped choosing."
