Matse Uwatse used to work as an OAP on one of the popular radio stations in Lagos till she quit and focused her energy on showing the world her culinary talents.

4. Sisi Yemmie

Perhaps the most famous amongst all the chefs on this list, Sisi Yemmie’s appeal lies in how she goes one step further to share parts of her life that fans wouldn’t normally have access to. When she cooks, she shares videos and photos of members of her family enjoying her meals. Fans love this and this is evident in her organic growth over the years. Also, her recipes are very practical. In fact, her party rice recipe remains a favorite of mine. She is also an author with her own cookbook.

Not to be confused with Nengi from Big Brother Naija, this Nengi describes herself as a food architect, and rightly so. From time to time, she shows off her plating skills. Either she is creatively serving Eba and Vegetable soup, or she is giving fufu a makeover. She is also an author with her own cookbook currently out.
