Meet The Chef

Aku

Aku was always interested in food and cooking from a young age. She watched and learnt from her Mama (Mother) and Mamah (grandmother) home made dishes. The best gift she every recieced was that they believed in her and this gave her strength to pursue her passion. According to Aku she has never worked a day in her life. She believes in taking time to let flavours develop, for example her goat stew is slow simmered for up to five days to bring out immensely rich flavors. With a giving heart, Aku’s other passion is to help her community.
