Get to know me better

Charismatic food enthusiast who's eager to learn new cultures and food

I'm a professional chef based in mombasa kenya with background authentic swahili cuisine and continental cuisine. My mother owned a neighbourhood restaurant in kisumu that's where I fall in love with cooking when I was 12yrs old. As a private chef there's no food that is too complicated for me to make. My signature dish is samaki wa nazi na Michele wa sinia[basically redsnapper fish in coconut sauce and vegetable rice with a coastal twist].

I was fortunate enough to learn cooking through my late mother who insisted on food flavors and kitchen cleanliness.

A cooking secret...

My secret is the less the spices the better the flavor. I always use fresh ingredients therefore making sure the guest taste every flavor on each dish
