One of the most difficult questions I find answering is "What inspires your recipes?". I mean for the most part, my recipes are inspired by nostalgic One of my favorite things about tilapia is you can cook it a million different ways. My garlic ukwaju whole tilapia curry is my new fave! <3

Beautiful flavors of the Kenyan coast come in full bloom in my ukwaju marinated spicy chicken thighs. You’ll fall in love with this one!

This Swahili delicacy is a mainstay in my own home kitchen. It’s a feast for the senses and tastes even better the following day. Perfectly seasoned, charred chicken pieces simmered in a bold, complex and bright tamarind sauce until tender and infused with the aromatics in the sauce. Each bite hits your palate with a different flavor note and is far from average! If you’ve never had Swahili cuisine, Get on It. It’s stupendous…you’ll be so glad!

I can very well call myself madam potatoes. I love potatoes so so so much. Potatoes are my favorite starch, because they are very delicious (duhh!!!), but In my book, potatoes are the best starch of all time! That said, my cumin bhajia with my honey ukwaju bbq sauce is bound to take that love to a whole new level!!!

A kenyan classic with a global perspective. This Pan Fried Fish with Sweet and Sour Ukwaju Sauce gives you a taste of the Kenyan coast in one sitting.
