Our very first Chef of the Month for the new year is none other than Rahila Edward-Kabir. A diamond from the Northern part of Nigeria, Rahila is from Adamawa State. Rahila is the Home Economist at Miele, the leading luxury global premium brand for household and commercial appliances.

Growing up surrounded by amazing dishes, she dreamt of one day becoming a Chef. Uncertain of the road ahead, Rahila focused on her other passion and got a B.A in International Relations from Babcock University. Taking it a step further, she went to Lancaster University for a Master’s degree in Diplomacy and International Law. However, life took its course and it became crystal clear that Rahila wanted to be a Chef.

 

 

After attaining her Masters degree, Rahila got a Diploma in Culinary Arts from Red dish Chronicles Culinary school and that’s when the magic begins to happen. Rahila’s journey into the world of culinary creations began in 2016. Training with a top hospitality company in London, Rahila’s passion bloomed. The ability to imagine something and bring it to life is something that always excites her.

 

 

This professionally trained Chef focuses on contemporary Nigerian dishes. Wanting people to appreciate food more, especially Nigerian dishes. Rahila is motivated to showcase Nigerian dishes and wants the world to experience the beauty of African dishes. From the locally sourced ingredients to the final meal itself.

 

 

Rahila has experienced her fair share of failures ranging from a dessert falling apart the night before a brand launch. This taught her never to give up regardless of the circumstances. She is passionate about curating recipes, fine dining, and exquisite catering. This 5’11 beautiful goddess is a rising star to watch out for. Her knowledge and skill is a combination of self-development and work experience at one of the top restaurants in Lagos.

This is why we love Rahila.
