We were pleasantly surprised by the rich and vibrant tastes of chef Samuka dishes. A simple parsnip or cabbage he turned into experience. All our wishes, including no meat for some of us, were fulfilled. We will definitely invite Samuka to cook for us again.

Dankzij Sam hebben we een avond heerlijk gegeten met vrienden. De gerechten waren erg bijzonder, qua smaak en beleving. Sam neemt alles uit handen en verzorgt zo een restaurant ervaring in eigen huis.

Wij willen Chef Samuka Kenneh enorm bedanken voor de geweldige avond. Één dag van tevoren had ik hem geboekt, dit was geen probleem voor hem. (Ondanks er veel voorbereiding in gaat zitten!) En hóe blij was mijn partner met deze verassing. Hij heeft het geweldig gehad. Chef Samuka was netjes op tijd. De tafel werd gedekt en we konden direct aanschuiven. Daarnaast is de chef ook nog eens een leuke aanwezigheid. Een praatje en een lach:) Alle gerechten zagen er fantastisch uit. En ze waren een ware smaakexplosie in de mond. Aan het eind was de keuken spik en span achter gelaten. We hebben enorm genoten. Ik kan niets minder zeggen dan dat wij een fantastische avond hebben gehad. Mijn man zei al dat ik deze verjaardag niet meer kon overtreffen. Chapeau!

My name is Samuka Kenneh. I am a private chef and caterer who is extremely passionate about the kitchen. In my kitchen, every dish has a special story that needs to be told, and I always try to add an element of my roots to my dishes.I was born in Liberia and lived in Sierra Leone for a while. I came to the Netherlands when I was ten, but I still look back fondly on my childhood in Africa. Luckily, I can still enjoy the food here every now and then.From an early age, I was interested in the food my parents prepared for me, and it made me decide to study cooking. Over the years, I have worked at four various star restaurants.In 2021, I decided that cooking for me is more than standing in the kitchen and preparing dishes. Each dish has its own story and background. I always try to incorporate something from my roots into my dishes. Because I love the personal contact with guests and I think it is important to start my personal story with every dish, I decided to set up Kenneh's Kitchen.Kenneh's Kitchen can be booked from 2 people. My team and I also cater for large groups of 10 people. Would you like to book Kenneh's Kitchen, or do you have questions about the dishes I prepare? Please feel free to call me, or book directly via the upper-right button. See you in the kitchen,Samuka Kenneh
