Ceci's African Kitchen

Welcome to Ceci’s African Kitchen, where every dish is a story, every flavor a memory, and every event a celebration.

From the warmth of her kitchen to your table, Ceci creates food that nourishes both body and soul.

A few words

Meet Ceci

Hola! I’m Ceci, originally from Buea, Cameroon, and now calling Santa Fe, New Mexico my home for over 25 years.

I grew up in Buea, a small town that was once the capital of former West Cameroon, ruled in different eras by the Germans, the British, and the French. Blessed with a refreshing climate, Buea sits at the foot of the majestic Mount Cameroon, whose towering presence has always inspired me.

Cooking is not just what I do — it’s who I am. It’s a way to connect, to preserve culture, and to share love one plate at a time!
