About

The Afropean Kitchen is where I will be conducting my food experiments with the aim of introducing you to new culinary possibilities. All my life, I have not always followed the normal. So don’t expect same old ways of making food.
This will not just be a regular food creation journey, it will also be a socially conscious one. To this end, I have adopted 2 NGO’s that I will be supporting morally from now and financially when the YouTube channel  of The Afropean Kitchen reaches pre-set milestones.

The NGO’s.

  1. Beyond Innocence Foundation. This is an NGO in Taita, Kenya that provides sanctuary for young children who have been victims of child and sexual abuse.
  2. Stichting Afropeans. This is an NGO that seeks to celebrate all Europeans of African origin in Europe and to highlight their ongoing contributions to both the African and European societies. (I have to declare a personal interest here. I am the founder and chairperson of Stichting Afropeans)

The pre-set milestones.

  1. When the Afropean Kitchen YouTube channel reaches 1,000 subscribers, I will put a link to both NGO’s in all the subsequent videos so that you can go to their websites for more detailed information about their work etc.
  2. When he Afropean Kitchen YouTube channel hits the 10,000 subscribers threshold, I will make a personal cash donation to both NGO’s!
  3. When this channel reaches 100,000 subscribers, I will personally go to Kenya to cook for the whole accommodation where those children are living in Taita for a week. If I can’t I will provide the money to make that happen.

One other pledge.

From the moment the first 50 video are posted, I will be making 1 meal a week for 20 less privileged people in my neighbourhood.

Finally, this culinary journey is dedicated to all the great Africans who came before and inspire us. As a student of history, I will be honouring these great Africans with every new food I create or recreate. This is my pledge.

Watch the introduction video here and please subscribe to the channel. Together we will create a new digital library of (new) African cooking with a touch of the European yummies.

Let’s cook and eat!
