Cooking isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. It’s the way I express love, the way I connect with others, and the way I honor the gift God has placed in my life.
Food has always been more than nourishment for me. It’s a medium for storytelling, celebration, building relationships.

Through Afro fusion cuisine, I’ve discovered a way to honour my Congolese heritage while exploring the beauty of diversity. Each one of my dishes is a testament to the creativity God has given me and a reflection of the incredible cultures He’s brought into my life.

Throughout this year, God has reminded me that this gift is not just for me—it’s meant to be shared. It’s how I serve, connect, and give back. It’s shown me how to trust the process, how to find joy in the details, and how to embrace the beauty of imperfection.

As I continue this journey, I’m reminded that this isn’t just about the food. It’s about creating spaces where people feel seen, loved, and celebrated. It’s about using the gifts God has given me to inspire, to uplift, and to bring glory to Him.

Thank you for being a part of this story, for believing in the vision, and for sharing in the joy of what I do. This is just beginning.

With Love, Nice♥️

Table Zaire Black-History Month Dinner Experience 🇨🇩🥂✨

10/10 vibes from our sold out dinner last month!

Table Zaire is more than just a chef’s tasting menu, it’s an experience and a community. Bridging cultures and continents, one dish at a time.

Everyone has a seat at our table!

”For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.“ Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭36‬ ‭NLT‬‬

As the years go by and seasons change, my vision remains the same— to see African cuisine represented in the global culinary landscape.

I am so honoured to have been able to sit down with @lapetitemarika from @radiocanada to discuss the Black History Month Table Zaire and my contribution to Afro/ Congolese fusion cuisine.

Through my food and dining experiences I want to create spaces for creativity, inclusivity and community building.

Congo to the world 🇨🇩✨

With Love,
Nice♥️

There’s rice at home 🌶️🍅

Smokey Jollof Rice, a labour of love. The one dish that is at the centre of diaspora wars. This rice dish has taken me years to perfect. A staple in my kitchen and always a fan favourite.

Planning my first supper club felt like throwing myself in the lion’s den, but we lived and we learned.

This is what I wish I had known before launching Table Zaire.

Ingredients that built my kitchen. 🍌🌍

There are certain ingredients I reach for without even thinking. They carry stories, memories, and generations of cooking, and plantain had to be the first.

From Southeast Asia to Africa, and across the Caribbean and Latin America through centuries of migration, colonialism, and resilience, plantain has become one of the world’s most beloved staple foods. Every culture has made it its own: dodo, kelewele, mofongo, mangú, patacones, matoke… one ingredient, countless identities.

What ingredient should we explore next?
