FOOD OFFERINGS

Meet the Kitchen cooks

Leila

Leila is a single mother who has created a Caribbean menu in her kitchen and  is quick to point out the parallels between cultures; “Pilau rice is used in Caribbean cooking too – food shows us that we’re not so different after all!” Leila runs Munchbreaks, an eclectic multicultural catering service from the heart of East London (a bit like the person behind it). She says that it’s about community and caring for them. Follow Leila on Instagram.

Amiira

Amiira started making her own hot sauce Basbaas (which means chilli) after she lost her job in 2017.
