KIRAN JETHWA: KENYA’S FIRST CELEBRITY CHEF

VINNY’S KITCHEN

In 2013; Chef Kiran Jethwa made it as the finalist for the prestigious Taste Awards for Industry Champion Award. The chef and owner of Seven Seafood and Grill is Kenya’s first celebrity chef, with his exciting TV-show Tales from the Bush larder, a popular highlight on Zuku and recently premiering in London.

At the awards, Kiran told us how he treated the Taste judges as guinea pigs for the menu for the London launch.

“The inspiration was all based on food from the show and all the dishes had a very Kenyan edge to them. There were a number of mistakes made and I know it cost me,” Kiran explained.

It was the lessons learnt from this experience the Kiran credited to his success in London.

TPF6 MEET AND GREET

#TPF6

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!  This is the super-star treatment for the current Tusker project Fame 6 (TPF6) participants for the next few weeks. These contestants from East Africa get pampered on fully paid shopping trips; limousine rides complete with bodyguards and escorts. Nairobi’z Blogazine got a peek of some of the contestants meet and greet trips to different joints in town including Club Betty’z and Samba Restaurant in downtown Nairobi.

The meet and greet enables them basically to unwind; dance; sing; sign autographs and just meet and greet their fans. How can you be part of this excitement; I bet you are asking! Well, each week; during the daily shows, they announce where they will be every Tuesday from their meet and greet.

Nonetheless; every eviction Saturday, you can join the evicted contestants at K1-Klubhouse in Parklands for the Tusker Night Eviction Party. Here are some of the meet and greet highlights…
