Meet the Taste Curator

A smiling woman in a white chef's coat and headscarf against a black background.

My relationship with food has always been personal.

It started early, learning to cook with care for my senior citizen parents, understanding nourishment as a responsibility. It evolved into an expression of love, then into personal joy and restoration. Today, it has become a way of bringing people together with intention.

Shaped by my Nigerian heritage, global influence, and an instinct for gathering, I see food as memory, culture, and a universal language everyone understands.

A woman wearing a black headscarf, black jacket, and beige skirt is serving herself food from a buffet table in a modern dining area.

Uto was born from my desire to create an unhurried, considered, and culturally grounded third space where quality is felt, and connection matters as much as what is served.

I design each experience with a mindful balance of elevation, surprise and memorable impact.
