Keshia Sakarah’s outstanding Caribe’ started as a kitchen pop up and residency in kitchens across London in 2018. Her goal has always been, and continues to, celebrate the diverse food culture that exists in the Caribbean. Her supper club; BARURU, focuses on the history of Caribbean cooking, specifically taking diners on a food journey throughout the region. The event features a new menu monthly with dishes from the revolutionary creole island of Haiti all the way south to the afro-indian cultures of Trinidad and Tobago. Alongside Caribe', Keshia is also a food educator in a cookery school and prisons, recipe contributor and food writer. She likes to focus particularly on matters such as culture and identity, exploring how heritage and history has influenced how we eat what we eat. She has contributed to publications such as National Geographic Traveller, Time Out, Olive Magazine, BBC Food, BBC Good Food, Guardian Feast, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s Magazine to name a few. She featured on Masterchef 2021 and 2022 as a street food expert and was named amongst the top 100 influential women in food by CODE, in 2021 and 2022, and will be releasing her debut cookbook, Caribe: A Caribbean cookbook with history in Spring 2025 with Hardie Grant and Penguin Random House publishing.
