The sizzle comes home to roast

Magic has always mesmerised human beings. It is no wonder then that chefs who, with simple abracadabra, can make a restaurant out of your plain living room, your ordinary backyard, your garden or your front porch, are charming their way into Nairobians’ hearts.

Every week, Mulunda Kombo, a chef who co-founded the food experience company Jumuuza, transforms two or three clients’ private spaces into intimate restaurants complete with all the friils and wait staff. One client who gave them her barnyard, could not believe its transformation into a fine dining experience where the guests sat on the hay as chairs.
