Taking grandma’s recipe upmarket

There is some comfort in having a bowl of saucy githeri topped with avocado and a sprinkle of raw tomatoes. A mouthful of this takes me back to my grandma’s kitchen, sitting around the fire whiling the countryside evening away.

To find a meal that reminds me of grandma’s cooking or even comes close to mum’s food is not something I would expect from a restaurant, but Chef Lesiamon ole Sempele’s char-grilled githeri and avocado with kachumbari hit the mark.
