About Chef James:
Born in Iringa, Southern highlands of Tanzania, James and his younger brother were raised by a single mother. She was known for being very hardworking and creative as most African women are. She ran a small, local business known as, “mgahawa” in Swahili (which is like a home based restaurant) to meet their basic needs.
Introduction to the culinary world
As it is a norm or rather tendency for Africans, that girls belong to the kitchen and boys were to be served, this was not in James’ case. Growing up with his younger brother and mother, he found himself in the kitchen helping his mother with her home-based restaurant. As a result he developed a strong passion for cooking at a very tender age.
In 1997, mother passed away and so did their business. With nothing left, they were sent to live with their grandmother and James found himself having to take care of both his brother and grandmother. With the skills he obtained from his mother, he started working for other establishments whilst in school and also worked on his grandmother’s farm to put food on the table.
