Novice Kitchen Founder, Niyi Olopade, grew up in Nigeria where spice and intense flavours were an intricate part of his childhood. After relocating to England, he found himself quite the novice in the kitchen, unable to match the level of flavour or spice his palate was used to. Years later, while travelling, Niyi worked with a chef who educated him on exploring unique new ways to fuse flavours from his multi-cultural upbringing together, thus the plan for Novice Kitchen was cooked up. For Niyi, the appreciation of an ingredient has the power to transform a dish into a rich story. Each ingredient used is expertly selected.
