If cooking is your hobby, it will be something fun to do. If cooking is your passion, you’ll notice that you’re spending more time cooking, planning to cook, and serving that cooked food than you are other activities in your life.
And lastly, if cooking is your love, then you’re exactly like Adebisi Mercy Akinpelu.
For the daughter of the renowned journalist and publisher, Mayowa Abiodun Akinpelu, popularly known as Mayor Akinpelu, cooking is a great experience.
According to her, being creative in the kitchen makes her happy and her joy knows no bound when after making it a career, people love eating her offerings.
Ms. Akinpelu, fondly called Princess, is the Chief Executive Officer of Adunni’s Pot (@adunnis_pot), an exquisite online based chef-driven and seasonal foods kitchen.
A graduate of Creative Arts from the University of Lagos, Princess stated that she drew strength from the positive feedback she get from patrons.
“That is what drove me into cooking for a career,” she revealed.
She also added that she started out managing few artistes and did few media gigs, but the coronavirus pandemic reawaken her passion.
“I practiced what I studied in school for a while; I road managed a few artistes, did media and all that. But with the Covid-19 pandemic around, I started cooking more since I was at home, and from just viewing my posts, people started asking if they could buy. So I decided to start Adunni’s Pot.”
To her, food is a necessity; no matter what is happening in the world, people have to eat.
“It’s been great so far. I know it’s only going to get better. So, we are here to give people great, quality and affordable meals without having to leave their homes.”
Adunni’s Pot offers smokey jollof rice with peppered turkey and moimoi on Monday, yam and sweet potato porridge served with spicy fish on Tuesday, while vegetable-stirred fried pasta with chicken and sausage are prepared for Wednesday.
Taking a break on Thursday, the online chef offers ofada rice and sauce with assorted meat, egg and plantain on Friday, while on Saturday, it serves eja kika, noodles with sausage and or chicken with both options having a choice of boiled or fried egg.
The busy and tasty kitchen service, which offers both pickup, home and office deliveries at short notice, also prepares extras like moimoi, turkey, croaker fish, chicken and jumbo peppered snail.
