When our friend Chef Michelle Igwilo, the creative force behind ogoisfooding, launched her home dinner series, we couldn’t miss the chance to experience it. Michelle, known for her incredible supper clubs, conceptual catering, and artisanal sauce - Ose Ose - has a unique way of blending flavours and creating unforgettable dining moments.
A Culinary Space Like No Other
Michelle crafted a cosy and welcoming environment that invited us to relax, connect, and, most importantly, savour her creations. The evening felt more like a gathering of old friends, even though many of us were meeting for the first time.
The Guests
I found myself surrounded by inspiring women passionate about an array of topics—food, fashion, books, current events, travel, and beyond. What stood out most to me was how Michelle fostered an atmosphere where everyone felt encouraged to share culinary ideas, stories, and feedback. It wasn’t just a dinner—it was a dialogue.
The Ambience
The setting was simply magical. Soft candlelight, fragrant flowers, and a warm, intimate vibe made the space feel both elegant and inviting. It was the perfect backdrop for an evening of indulgence.
The Food
And now, for the star of the evening—the food.
We began with an appetizer of Ekuru, smoked salmon, clementine chilli sauce, and radish, a beautifully balanced dish that set the tone for what was to come.
The main course took us on a flavorful journey: tender duck, creamy potato mash, Nsala made with a prawn reduction (a new favourite of mine!), and cavolo nero. Every bite was deeply cherished!
Finally, dessert was a rich chocolate mousse with whipped cream and orange coulis—a perfect ending to a perfect meal. Each dish felt like a love letter to flavour, prepared with care and precision.
