authentic chinese cuisine
Chinese cuisine brings diverse people and different communities together. While there are many good Chinese restaurants, many of them are Western-style Asian food. I want to provide curious and seasoned onlookers with authentic Chinese cuisine.

best sharwama and jollof rice
I chose this gig because cooking is one of my greatest passions, and sharing my food with others brings me real joy. I specialize in making authentic Nigerian dishes like jollof rice with chicken and plantain, as well as savory shawarma wraps packed with flavor. These are meals I grew up making and perfecting, and over time, friends, family, and classmates have encouraged me to share them more widely because they love the taste and quality. Preparing delicious, home-style food allows me to express my creativity and connect with people through something everyone enjoys—great food! Whether you're new to Nigerian cuisine or already a fan, I’m excited to serve you meals that are made with care, culture, and flavor you won’t forget.

what is poppermint
Poppermint is a platform that connects you with talented, motivated students offering affordable help in areas they genuinely enjoy — from photography and baking to organizing, tutoring, tech support, and more. These are not random odd jobs — they’re real skills students are proud of and excited to share.

the students
They’re ambitious, capable, and full of drive. Many are saving for school, exploring their future careers, or building real-world experience doing what they love. When you book a gig, you’re not just crossing something off your list — you’re helping a local student work toward their goals.
why it matters
With Poppermint, you get meaningful help and make a meaningful difference. It’s practical, affordable, and personal — and every booking is a small way to invest in someone’s future. That’s something you can feel good about.
