Meet Marianne
Hello and Welcome! My name is Marianne Tshihamba. I have traveled to over 30 countries, collecting friends and recipes along the way.
My love of food and travel started as a child, having moved with my family to the US from Congo. Washington DC is my adoptive home and a perfect place to feed my foodie addiction.

What others are saying...
“My team at the Gates Foundation has been looking to reconnect after months of working from home. Marianne suggested we make a dish from Africa as a way of connecting with the cultures where we work even when we could not travel. We all had a great time and learned about the food and culture. Thanks.”
