Take 5 with Chef Violet

What would you say is the most popular dish/ cuisine amongst guests?
We don’t have a specific one as it varies based on the preferences of the guests we are hosting. Lately, we’ve been making efforts to introduce our Kenyan cuisine, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
What is the most fulfilling or memorable kitchen moment you have had with your team?
One of the most cherished moments in the kitchen occurs when we have guests with specific dietary needs. In those instances, my team and I take pride in going the extra mile to create tailored and unique meals. The joy we feel in making their dining experience truly unforgettable is incredibly rewarding.
You would love it if every guest visiting Segera tasted this dish:
I wish every guest visiting Segera could savour every delicacy we have to offer. The freshness and distinctive flavours of each dish are sure to create lasting and memorable culinary experiences for them.
What would you say is the best thing about being a chef?
Being a chef is a canvas for expressing creativity through food. We derive lots of happiness and satisfaction in crafting unique dishes and seeing our guests delight in each flavorful bite.
Your kitchen mantra?
I am influenced a lot by Chef Ottolenghi, whose cookbooks serve as a guiding light. I draw inspiration from his approach, striving to create and present food in a modern yet simple manner.
