DCI started with two students from a small kitchen of a three bedroom apartment of the Founder Ladipo Ayodeji (Chef Dee)

With our much detailed cuisine masterclass and the introduction of Dahlia patisserie , we have grown to over 150 students yearly, with a new kitchen structure that accommodates 50 students at a go.

Dee Culinary Institute stands as one of the best culinary schools in Nigeria, giving foundational knowledge, grooming and equipping individuals with the skills needed to understand the art of food in all forms and the ability to create and recreate the finest cuisines all across the globe.

Our goal is to redefine the culinary standard in our local environment and motivate our students to explore different culinary traditions all around the world.
