I'm stuck at this code challenge

the code works fine on workspace but it doesn't if I copied it to the code challenge. it gave me this error message "takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given" it would be helpful if anyone gives a solution.

def favorite_food(**kwargs):
    fp = kwargs
    ss = print("Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**fp))
    return ss

favorite_food(name="Dzaki", food="Pizza")

I'll admit, I found this challenge to be a bit confusing, but basically they've given you almost everything you need already, you just need to unpack the dict in the format() method: 

def favorite_food(dict):
    return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**dict)
