About the cook
Family recipes, Nigerian roots and a love of food from everywhere.
I love cooking and tasting food that sparks emotion and takes me straight back to childhood. My culture is my inspiration, and it’s why I break boundaries and create African fusion food.
I’m Racheal Motojesi, founder of Racheal Cooks, and I’m glad you stopped by.
The afro-fusion style was inspired by my son, Joshua. He grew up with both the old family recipes and the new ones we created together. During the pandemic we bonded over food, cooking old recipes and inventing new ones, and making new family traditions along the way.
That was when I decided to stop letting fear hold me back. I turned my love of food into a business and haven’t looked back since.
