Video 3 of the 4-part video series Reclaiming the Tongue, curated by journalist and poet Wana Udobang, is now available. Nigerian food blogger and nutritionist Iquo Ukoh from 1Q Food Platter presents ” Erasing the Borders.”
Iquo Ukoh is a nutritionist and dietitian with over three decades of experience managing food brands for West African markets at one of the world’s global food companies.
She has travelled across West African countries to understand the general culinary habits of the rural and urban dwellers. Some of the countries she has visited are Ivory coast, Ghana, Togo, Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal and Cameroun. In Nigeria, she also worked closely with urban and rural women in the major geopolitical zones to understand the cooking and eating habits of Nigerians.
Her food brand 1QFOODPLATTER provides readers and viewers with an extensive visual and written collection of West African inspired historical and modern recipes with a healthy twist. In partnership with her daughter, she runs a podcast that discusses Nigerian Food Culture from generational perspectives.
Iquo currently seats on the board of several companies and marketing associations in Nigeria. Her current project, a soon to be launched cookbook, will allow her readers to appreciate the relationship Nigerians have with their food.
