A CULINARY JOURNEY ROOTED IN LOVE AND RESILLIENCE
Cooking for me has always been more than a skill; it's a profound connection to my roots and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo, my journey into the world of culinary arts began in the face of adversity.
As a young soul thrust into the responsibilities of adulthood, the untimely passing of my parents propelled me into the role of caregiver for my younger siblings. In the heart of the Congo, a place known for its rich cultural tapestry, I found solace and strength in the kitchen. It wasn't just about surviving; it was about creating moments of comfort and joy amidst life's challenges.
In the midst of chaos, cooking became my language of love, respect, and honour. In Congolese culture, the measure of a person's goodness is often intertwined with their ability to master the art of cooking. It became a vessel through which I could express care, preserve tradition, and extend a helping hand to others navigating their own storms.

Being in the kitchen is not just a profession; it's an integral part of me that I cannot separate from.
Every dish I create is infused with a lot of love and care, carrying with it the essence of my WHY story. It's an invitation to join me on a culinary journey that transcends borders, celebrating the resilience of the human spirit and the universal language of food.
