From market stalls to plated excellence, contestants are challenged to turn fresh, local produce into mouthwatering masterpieces that honor tradition and push innovation.
Our Inspiration
The inspiration behind Eko Flavours Senior is the resilience and ingenuity of Lagosians, those who make magic in their kitchens regardless of limitations. We wanted to spotlight how great meals don’t require fancy kitchens or exotic ingredients, just heart, heritage, and hustle.
Driven by the Lagos State Government’s commitment to food system innovation, this competition doesn’t just entertain, it transforms. It educates, inspires, and uplifts culinary talents while fostering pride in our local produce and culture.
Eko Flavours Senior is not just a competition, it’s a love letter to Lagos, served hot.
