Get to know Chef Mirabel
“We had such a fantastic time doing this cooking class with Mirabel. The conversation about Cameroon was so interesting, and the food was easy to prepare and so delicious. We would love to take another class with Mirabel and highly recommend this one.”

About Mirabel: I am a cook, singer, songwriter, and founder of Motherland Cooking Xperience, the only African cultural experience in the USA. We showcase Africa and its diversity through intimate, unique, interactive and authentic cooking demo experiences paired with live music, drinks and storytelling from Africa.
As a child, while helping my mum cook Cameroonian delicacies, she'd share fun memories of her mom and grandma and their recipes. Now being far away from home, I see the importance of passing down this rich heritage to my kids, the next generation, and also to my new home, USA. We are excited to share these recipes and stories with you. Our cooks are seasoned cooks from different African countries, each one bringing their own style, stories and history with love.
So, come away with us to Africa!
