Hi! My name is Nkechinyere but you’ll come to love me so call me Chef Nk and when it comes to good food, think of me! I’m the Executive Head Chef of Nkechi’s pot. As a proud Arizona resident, born and raised in Nigeria, my passion for creating delicious culinary experiences runs deep. From my early years, I found joy in spending countless hours in the kitchen especially because my mother made sure of it. Exploring my creativity and formulating distinctive flavours didn’t start today. Despite being continually encouraged to start a food blog, my shy Igbo nature held me back. However, life had a different plan for me when I moved from Baltimore to Arizona.
 
The transition was substantial, and one thing that struck me was the scarcity of decent Nigerian cuisine in the area. This actuality was devastating, but it also ignited a spark within me to address this need head-on. Thus, Nkechi's Pot was born—a culmination of my love for food, a platform to showcase my recipes, and an answer to the longing for authentic Nigerian meals. Finally, I had a persuasive reason to start my food blog, and take a food videography and photography class and oh, how fulfilling it has been!

Our business has expanded from just serving little daily packs & catering from my residence to a walk-in brick & mortar that includes onsite dine-in services, and pick-up to go. Watch this space as there will be more to come because Naija no dey carry last!
