her story

---

Ayoka in Yoruba means ‘Bringer of joy’, which was also the name of Theresa’s grandmother. Her summer holidays were spent in the comfort of her family’s farm in rural Nigeria, running between tall stalks of corn while picking breakfast goodies for everyone. This is where her journey into food began.

Theresa has always believed that food is more than just fuel; it’s about connection, comfort, memories, and celebration. Growing up surrounded by the rich flavors of Nigerian cuisine, she developed a deep love for cooking and sharing meals that bring people together.

What began as preparing dishes for close friends and family from the comfort of her kitchen is now evolving into a multi-faceted culinary service, offering corporate catering and in-home dining experiences trusted by both private clients and corporate organizations. From cozy dinner parties to large gatherings, 6 Degrees of Ayoka is building a reputation for creating experiences where food feels both authentic and unforgettable.

Each dish carries the vibrant essence of the fusion of Nigerian and western cooking, crafted with care and a special blend of creativity that makes every dish unique. At the heart of everything we do is a simple philosophy: food should feed the body and tantalize the senses; it should connect you to culture, to people, and to moments worth remembering.

Whether it’s a corporate gathering, an intimate dinner, or weekly meal preparation, we pour creativity, care, and authenticity into every plate, bringing people together to share in the joy of food.
