Quirky facts about Susan
I have a love for adventure and exploring, I guess it’s the researcher in me? I express this interest in going to new places within and outside the city I live in, exploring new areas, new cuisines, and more! I take this love of adventure a step further by venturing out to learn and cook new and ridiculously challenging recipes that are non-Nigerian and non-African. The risk they say is worth the reward, and most times the reward is a new and tasty meal that’s just as exciting as its preparation!
