Meet the Chef

Chef Shade Ojelade
Founder & Head Chef

“My goal is to shed more light and initiate fresh conversation about West African ingredients and delicacies that breeds nostalgia, identity and deliciousness. Doing exactly this without depriving us from real authentic bold flavors that are deeply rooted in my culture.”

It all started with a passion for the art of cooking and quality cuisine.

As a food critique, I enjoyed talking about food and expressing my feelings about other people’s food. I reveled in seeing the enjoyment and excitement in others when eating food created by other chefs, so much so that I wanted that expression of emotion for my own culinary creations.

One of my greatest accomplishments was stepping out of the norm, walking by faith to pursue my culinary career. With a background in accounting, cooking was just something I did to escape from the mundane corporate world. But eventually I yearned for my escape to become my reality, so I made a decision to take a bold step and to enroll in a Culinary Institute.

Little did I know, that this was the beginning to many more accomplishments. I believe strongly that being true to oneself and doing what brings you happiness and purpose will always be our greatest accomplishment.

My goal is to provide a private dining experience, different from any other.

ShadeEats came into fruition..

The mission is to prepare an atmosphere filled with passion, in an environment that exudes elegance, sophistication, and comfort in dining with others.

The goal is to shed more light and initiate fresh dialogue about West African ingredients and delicacies that breeds nostalgia, identity and deliciousness. Doing exactly this without depriving us from real authentic bold flavors that are deeply rooted in my culture.

My first love has always been food from my home country and with gratitude, I have grown to appreciate other cultural influences and I hope you enjoy my fusions.
