Meet Adejoké Bakare , The U.K.'s First Black Female Michelin Star Chef

Nigerian born Adejoké Bakare, the pioneering founder and head chef of Chishuru Restaurant, has made history as the first Black female chef in the U.K. to earn a Michelin star, and second globally. Her groundbreaking achievement has broken barriers in the traditionally male-dominated culinary world.

Initially introduced as a temporary popup in Brixton, South London, in 2020, her restaurant has transformed into one of the city's leading dining spots.
