Our Story

Remembering Our Lola
Every day has been filled with missing you. Our hearts ache with a love that will never fade. We love you more than words can say. You will be forever in our hearts. This is for you.
Growing up in mum's kitchen
My roots are deeply embedded in my Mum's London kitchen, a vibrant and bustling hub of Caribbean life. It wasn't just a space for cooking, but the heart of our home. The air, thick with fragrant spices and simmering stews, was a constant storyteller of family, tradition, and boundless love. Every pot and pan held cherished memories of lively gatherings, echoing laughter, and the comforting presence of loved ones. The kitchen table was a stage for spontaneous celebrations, a place where stories intertwined with the aromas of home. Those flavors are not just recipes; they are the tangible essence of my childhood.
The Journey
Leaving London, I found myself yearning for the familiar comforts of my Mum's kitchen, those tastes that instantly transport me back to my London childhood. This longing sparked a journey of recreating and sharing the soul-stirring experience of Caribbean cuisine. It's an adventure in capturing the essence of those memories, exploring the depths of traditional flavors, and infusing them with the warmth and joy I experienced growing up. Each dish is a step back in time, a way to keep those cherished moments alive.
bringing it all together
Through our cooking, I strive to recreate the magic of my Mum's kitchen and share the soul-stirring experience of Caribbean cuisine with you. It's about more than just the food; it's about the feeling, the connection, the warmth of family and community. I want to bring those vibrant flavors and cherished memories to your table, inviting you to savour the taste of my London childhood and experience the love that shaped my journey.
