Jason

Jason has been working in kitchens since he left secondary school when he was 16 years old. He's now 26 and still learning new and exciting cooking methods and flavours. After working as head chef at a Lebanese restaurant for two and a half years, Jason is eager to embark on another culinary adventure. Cooking new dishes with extraordinary ingredients and spices, he’s truly amazed to be able to do what he loves, while learning something new.

Farah

Farah was born and raised in Uganda, and has many years of experience cooking Swahili cuisine. She would cook for her large family with her mother, having guests visit them for meals every day. She has always loved preparing food, and growing up, would often make dishes with a twist, like adding more flavours and changing the food’s shapes. To have the opportunity to share her country's amazing dishes and flavours with the public is a dream come true.
