Yummy By Design
Olayemi Adelekan is a UK based Personal Chef and home cook, focusing on fusion cooking and healthy eating using food as medicine.
I’m an intuitive chef who learned by watching and doing, cooking for my family and friends. I am dedicated to celebrating the fusion of Nigerian and other African countries’ ingredients with all the other influences around me to make food that is ‘Yummy by Design’.
I have been passionately cooking yummy food for over forty years and being in the kitchen creating delicious meals for people to enjoy remains my joyful place.
Taking part in the MasterChef UK 2022 competition and making it into the top 6 whilst showcasing my food was an incredible experience. I can proudly call myself a MasterChef semi-finalist and the show helped me to discover my passion for fusion cooking.
One of my goals is to elevate Nigerian food and showcase the amazing ingredients of the African continent. I want to share my modernised take on Nigerian and other foods with you.
