Fiery Passion

Mgeni Mzima

Meet Mgeni Mzima. Passionate about cooking from a young age, his determination to become a chef led to various stints in some of the world’s most esteemed kitchens. But it is back home as Tulia Zanzibar’s executive chef that he feels most at home.

You can taste it in the more than 400 fragrant flowers and plants he grows in his garden. And you can taste it in his exquisite dishes, like this vegan ceviche with passionfruit dressing that was almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
