Our story
My grandmother cooked over firewood in Abeokuta. I just brought the fire to Victoria Island.
Ember & Yam started as a Sunday supper club in a Surulere backyard. Today our kitchen still runs on hardwood and charcoal, and every pepper, yam and fish comes from farms and markets we know by name.
