About Us

My name is Mary Muthuri, and I am the owner of Kenya Mama’s Kitchen, which was established in February 2022. I was born and raised in Kenya, in a home where the robust flavors of East Africa were an integral part of our culinary culture. When our family moved to the U.S., we were excited to continue cooking the dishes we loved back home. But the seasoning blends we found on shelves here just didn’t work—they had ingredients we couldn’t pronounce and flavors that didn’t feel right. Worse, some of them were hard on our stomachs. So, we went back to what we knew. We started blending our own seasonings—simple, clean, and rooted in the authentic flavors we grew up with in Kenya. We used them in our catering, just to feed people well. But soon, something kept happening: customers would pull us aside after meals and say, “Whatever you used—can I buy it?” That’s when we knew we had something special. Kenya Mama was born from love for real food, real flavor, and the people who gather around it. Driven by my desire to share the traditional flavors of my homeland with the world, I developed my seasoning blends that captures the authentic, unique, and vibrant flavors of East Africa, bringing them to your table.
