Get to know me better

I proudly wear many hats: I'm a chef, an African food advocate, and an educator. My mission is to introduce people to the vibrant and diverse flavors

As a passionate advocate for African plant-based cuisine, I am dedicated to promoting and celebrating the rich culinary traditions of Africa. With a deep love for food and a commitment to sustainable eating, I strive to educate others about the nutritional and cultural significance of African plant-based dishes.

I was honored to be part of the inaugural incubator program by Waterfront Makers Landing, which played a pivotal role in shaping my culinary journey. My experience as the Executive Chef at Bertha House allowed me to innovate and bring plant-based African cuisine to the forefront, creating dishes that are both delicious and culturally rich.

Since the inception of the Plant Powered Show, I have been privileged to be one of its featured chefs, showcasing my expertise and creativity in plant-based cooking. Additionally, my collaboration with Food Indaba/Food Dialogue has enabled me to contribute to meaningful discussions and culinary advancements in the realm of sustainable and plant-based eating.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and inspiring others to explore the diverse flavors and health benefits of African plant-based foods. Through my work as a chef, educator, and recipe developer, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the culinary heritage of Africa and promote healthier, more sustainable eating practices.

A cooking secret...

I find inspiration for my recipes directly from the ingredients themselves. I love exploring how versatile each ingredient can be. It's like a puzzle
