AFN: Tell us about yourself!
Chef Amors: My name is Hadiza Ango, known as Chef Amors. A northern Nigeria food blogger, YouTuber, content creator and chef in my late twenties.
I started cooking at an early age of 7-8 yrs of age. I will watch my mom cook from start to finish and when she saw how curious I am and passionate about food. She allowed me do a few things in the kitchen with her and before you knew I was the cook of the house because you guessed right I am good with food.
AFN: Why do you cook?
Chef Amors: I can’t really say why. I think this passion for food and cooking is inbuilt. I was born this way. Along the line the joy I see on my family and friends’ faces whenever I cook for them is indescribable. One of my love languages is cooking for people I love. So yes I cook because I love cooking.
Chef Amors: My favorite memory in the kitchen was when I cooked Jollof rice for 16 people. I was still in primary school then; trust me, it was one of the best rice I ever made. My dad asked me to ask if anybody helped me because he couldn’t believe I made that all by myself and because the rice was too good. Till date, everybody wants to eat my food and anytime I remember this particular day, it just makes me happy.
AFN: What is your biggest cooking fail?
Chef Amors: I tried this fresh strawberry muffin recipe I saw online and it was an epic failure (this is the only one I can remember).
Chef Amors: My favorite food to cook is fried rice because you can’t eat my fried rice and not ask for more or the recipe.
