Meet Marianne

Hello and Welcome! My name is Marianne Tshihamba. I have traveled to over 30 countries, collecting friends and recipes along the way. 

 

My love of food and travel started as a child, having moved with my family to the US from Congo. Washington DC is my adoptive home and a perfect place to feed my foodie addiction.

“My team at the Gates Foundation has been looking to reconnect after months of working from home.  Marianne suggested we make a dish from Africa as a way of connecting with the cultures where we work even when we could not travel.  We all had a great time and learned about the food and culture.  Thanks.”

“Marianne is amazing and knows her food!  We cooked Thai dishes that she learned to cook on her travels there. Seems she travels for food a lot!  She makes it seem so easy and fun to learn.  Take her class. You will not be disappointed”

“ The friendliness and the wood was amazing. Marianne is telling you a story of flavor and tradition as she cooks"
