HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, NIGERIA! 🇳🇬

A nation rich in culture, creativity, resilience, and stories worth telling.

From the ingredients that nourish us to the traditions passed down through generations, our food remains one of the many ways we express who we are.

Today, we celebrate the people, knowledge, and heritage that make Nigeria uniquely ours.

Here’s to preserving what makes us, while continuing to create what comes next.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at ÌTÀN.

Beyond recipes, there are histories, cultures, and stories waiting to be discovered.

In this session, our scholars explored food through the lens of research, heritage, and cultural identity, gaining a deeper appreciation of the stories behind what we eat.

Because understanding food also means understanding where it comes from.

FOOD COSTING & FINANCIAL PLANNING with Chef moyo MoyosoreOluwa Odunfa-Akinbo

A great dish is only one part of building a successful culinary career. Understanding the numbers behind it matters just as much.

Our scholars had a session with Chef Moyo, founder of The Àtijẹ Experience | Intimate Nigerian Dining Experiences | , exploring food costing and financial planning and essential skills needed to navigate the business side of the culinary industry.

From understanding the cost of ingredients to planning finances and making informed business decisions, the session encouraged scholars to think beyond the kitchen and approach their culinary ambitions with commercial awareness.

Because becoming a chef is not only about creating good food. It is also about understanding how to build a sustainable business around it.

Good food needs good business sense.

A chef’s education doesn’t end at the classroom door.

Sometimes, you have to step out, look around, and learn from your environment.
