Born and raised in the bustling city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state in Nigeria’s North Eastern region, Hannatu Abdullahi Idris has exposed to diverse cultures at a young age thanks to her parents who were both civil servants. Growing up as the only daughter among four siblings, she was naturally curious and eager to try different types of food. Her love for food was further cultivated by her mother, who was an exceptional cook with a passion for experimenting with different ingredients and methods to create exquisite dishes.
With every trip that the family took, they returned home with unique food ingredients, condiments, and recipes that they would try out and perfect. Over the years, Hannatu developed a vast knowledge of food, including ingredients, their origins, processing methods, and classic meal combinations. Her expertise in the field earned her a reputation among friends and family who often sought her advice on where to source rare food items.
