What an incredible weekend at the 2026
World Food & Music Festival! 🌍✨

We barely had a moment to catch our breath, but our hearts are completely full 💕. It was pure joy seeing so many new faces excited to try our food for the first time, alongside familiar smiles from old neighbors and former coworkers who stopped by to show love. Sharing our kitchen and culture with this community means everything to us.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing crew. 👏🏾🙌🏾❤️ Your positive energy, and dedication kept the engine running all weekend long. We truly could not have done this without every single one of you!

And a very special shoutout to my sister-in-love, Saily, who traveled all the way from Canada just to stand by our side and hold it down with us. You are simply the best!❤️

Thank you, Des Moines, for showing up and supporting us. See you all next year! 🥳🍲✨

Hey everyone! 🥰
Thanks to all who have reached out asking about the Farmer's Market this summer. I won't be there this season as I’m back in school and my classes are on the weekends.
​But I’m not gone! Check out this flyer for two upcoming events. Plus, I’m still taking catering orders when my schedule allows and selling my spice mix.
​Message me or visit my website to order your spices or request catering.
See you soon! 😘
