About Us

Jikoni Palatables is a food platform on a mission to celebrate Africa’s rich culinary heritage through digital storytelling, curated databases, and unforgettable meals.

Founded in 2016, Jikoni Palatables started as a small office catering service.

Today, Jikoni Palatables operates across four pillars:

Catering: Thoughtfully crafted menus rooted in African flavors, infused with both tradition and innovation.

Recipe Database: A growing digital archive of authentic African recipes — preserving indigenous techniques and local ingredients.

Chefs Database: A first-of-its-kind directory connecting chefs across Africa and the diaspora to opportunities, training, and visibility.

Food Digital Media: Stories, blogs, visuals, and educational content that explore the intersection of food, culture, and science.

What makes us different? We don’t just serve food — we serve edible stories. Each recipe, photo, and plate carries both cultural memory and scientific insight, rooted in African soil but resonating globally.

From working with local farmers and culinary students to championing women’s empowerment through food entrepreneurship, Jikoni Palatables is building a food future that honors our past — one dish, one story, one connection at a time.
