ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Karen, a Nigerian-American foodie from Houston, Texas currently residing in Washington, D.C. I have a serious passion for cooking, entertaining, and eating good food with great people. I particularly enjoy Nigerian food because it brings warm, nostalgic memories of “back home.”
NwaBekee is an organic extension of my love for food and culture across continents. My cooking is inspired by my Nigerian heritage, influenced by my bekee, or American, sensibilities; and driven by a passion for health + wellness. My food philosophy centers on approachable, functional, and delicious meals that taste good and make you feel your best. Through NwaBekee, I hope to open the door into the fascinating world of African inspired cuisine and show that healthy food can be enjoyable.
Thank you for visiting NwaBekee.
I look forward to sharing more and hope to catch you around.
