Kenyan male celebrities unleashing their kitchen skills
It has always been a notion that women are more fitting in the kitchen or when it comes to matters of food and cooking. Over time, that notion was neutralised by some men who found a great passion and interest in cooking and even went further to make cooking their careers. The likes of Chef Raphael, who shares his vast knowledge of new recipes and cuisines on Facebook; Chef Joseph Macharia who has a unique prowess in food styling and also happens to have been mentored by Chef Mullan who has trained many of Kenya's best chefs. Chef Ali Mandhry is another talented Kenyan chef who is also Kenya's Chef ambassador, an award-winning Africa's top Chef, culinary instructor, food stylist, hotelier, tv/radio personality.
Could it be that Chef Ali inspired other Kenyan male celebrities to challenge themselves in the kitchen? Or could it be that the fact he has more than one career he pursues makes other male celebrities feel like they're up to the culinary arts task? Some of the notable male figures that have been busy in the kitchen are, for one is, Dennis Ombachi, a Kenyan rugby sevens player, who is also known as a self-taught chef who is passionate about cooking. Dennis is so passionate about food that he started his food blog, where he has shared unique delicacies such as fried rice curry, njahi fried rice, chickpea coconut curry, apple mango salad and much more.
