Connecting African cuisine to the world.

"That Foodie Lawyer, throughout the years, has been at the forefront of empowering the community in Canada... I am proud to be associated with the brand and excited about the things to come."

AZEEZAT'S STORY

Growing up as an introverted child, my love for food became a unique form of self-expression. By age 11 or 12, I became a family chef, serving meals to our extended family of 12 to 15 members. Food for us was a way to foster connection.

However, things changed when I moved to Canada. Despite the warm welcome from a Mauritian family with beautifully prepared meals, I missed the flavours of my Nigerian and African roots. This gap in accessing African and Nigerian cuisine inspired TFL.

For me, food is more than sustenance; it's a holistic culinary experience, from sourcing ingredients to savouring aromas and appreciating visual artistry, all while embracing the unique stories behind each dish.

That Foodie Lawyer represents the fusion of my love for African cuisine, commitment to fairness, and experiences as an African immigrant.

With That Foodie Lawyer, I aim to preserve our cultural heritage through food, elevate African and Nigerian culinary traditions, provide insights for food enthusiasts and aspiring entrepreneurs, and empower African foodpreneurs globally.

Your support is vital in realizing these goals. Join us in celebrating African and Nigerian cuisine's diverse and flavorful world, forging a more profound connection through our shared love for food.
