About 15 years after moving to the UK in 1999 from Nigeria, Bakare started making pies to sell after church. That turned into hosting supper clubs, to show people in her community the diversity of Nigerian food. She was ready to share her vision further but didn’t know how to set up a restaurant, and wasn’t sure her food would be welcome. A friend said she must start believing in herself, and then came the final ultimatum. “She said, ‘If you don’t do anything by the end of the year, I won’t be your friend any more,’” laughs Bakare. She sat down and wrote a menu to place her identity on a plate, then entered and won a competition to earn a space in Brixton Village.

My biggest challenge has been my impostor syndrome. For years, I wouldn't even call myself a chef. I'd just say I was cooking for a living. The second challenge I suppose, would be purely logistical. I never worked my way up in the food industry working in restaurants, I didn't go to business school, so I had to kind of make those mistakes and then learn from them. I had to learn how to manage my team by being around people and through trial and error, really, and the final challenge I'd probably say is the prejudice I've faced as a brown woman cooking my heritage food. You know, a lot of times people have put down Pakistani food as not standing on par with the great classics and I've really had to work hard in creating a place for myself. I used to be really insecure about my cooking before, but now I'm really proud of it and my customers enjoy it too.

If you are enthusiastic about self-development and embrace opportunities to improve your skills and knowledge whenever possible, you could enjoy a long and rewarding career as a Head Chef.
