A note from the founder

The hardest part of cooking is not the cooking. It is deciding.

Fourteen years of feeding families and companies across Lagos taught me that the recipe was never the problem. The question was. So I built the thing I always wanted in my own kitchen.

Sade Founder · The Lunch Loft

How it works

Three messages and your kitchen runs itself.

There is nothing to install and nothing to learn. If you can send a WhatsApp message, you already know how to use it.

FIRST

Say hello

Message the number, or send a voice note in Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin or English. It answers in the language you used.

THEN

Tell it about your home once

We are six. Low oil. No shellfish. It remembers, and every recipe from then on arrives measured for your pot.

AFTER THAT

Just cook

Ask for any dish, or tell it what is already in your kitchen. Every recipe comes with a health tip from our kitchen.

The verified kitchen

Our indigenous recipes were checked by a chef, not scraped from the internet.

Owo Esha is not a yam dish. Okoho is not made without the extract. These dishes live in oral tradition, and most sources online get them wrong. Ours were written and verified by hand.

Before you ask

The honest answers.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Fifteen recipes every month, at no cost, for as long as you want. Premium exists for people who want the whole month planned for them, not as a wall in front of the recipes.

Do I need to download anything?

No. It lives inside the WhatsApp already on your phone. There is no app, no account and no password.

My mother does not type in English. Can she use it?

Yes, and this is the part we are proudest of. She can send a voice note in Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo or Pidgin and receive the full recipe back in the same language.

I cook for two. Or ten. Does that work?

Tell it your household size once. Every recipe after that arrives with quantities measured for your pot, and it remembers between conversations.

Am I talking to a person?

No, and we will never pretend otherwise. It is a digital assistant built by our kitchen. The indigenous recipes inside it were written and verified by our founder, a chef with fourteen years of feeding Lagos.

I live abroad and cannot find the ingredients.

Tell it where you are. It suggests substitutions for what your local shops actually sell, so the dish still tastes like home.

How do I cancel?

One message, any time. No forms and no waiting.

Tonight

Dinner is one message away.

Send a hello, or a voice note, and see what fourteen years in a Lagos kitchen feels like on your phone.
