Kay’s Kitchen

I am currently in the process of creating my own food business and want to use this opportunity to see if people are interested in this fusion Caribbean mixed food. I am not professional trained but I enjoyed cooking and wanted to use my talent to generate an additional income for my family. I often usually do private catering and meal plans for close families and friends.  

The Abibiman Project

The Abibiman Project is a celebration of the diverse and unique flavours of the African continent. I was started as a form of protest against the misconceptions of Black people and the lack of representation of our food culture. As a chef and pastry chef, I can combine my experience and a desire to give back to my community. We offer spice blends, sauces, coffee, tea and sweets all made with traditional African recipes, indigenous African ingredients and chef inspired preparation techniques. We also do pop-up dinners, catering and classes. A portion of our profit is donated to Afri-can Food Basket to further support Black food sovereignty locally and strengthen the ties between food and culture in the local Black community

AfroTreats

Afro treats is a company that manufacturers snacks of African origin with a global flavour fusion twist. We got into the business when we saw a gap with no African snacks on mainstream retail shelves and we are on a mission to showcase the rich culture of Africa and positively tell the African story through the snacks we make.

Mehetta Bammies
Mehetta Bammies is a Canadian food producer with Caribbean roots that provides consumers looking to experience the real taste and culture of the Caribbean with freshly made Caribbean bammies, crafted in a variety of original flavours, from the freshest ingredients.
