Who Is Chef Niwala?

When Chef Niwala was a young boy growing up in a small village, he was known for his boundless curiosity and love for food. His mother often said he could recognize the smell of a freshly baked loaf of bread from miles away. At the age of seven, his fascination with cooking began during an unforgettable summer at his grandmother’s house.

One evening, little Niwala decided to help his grandmother prepare dinner. She handed him a knife to chop herbs, warning him to be careful. To everyone’s surprise, Niwala handled the knife like a pro, chopping parsley and coriander with precision. His grandmother laughed, calling him “Chef Niwala,” and the name stuck.

From then on, he would spend hours watching her cook, asking endless questions about spices, sauces, and techniques. One day, as a challenge, his grandmother asked him to prepare a simple soup. Niwala not only made the soup but added his unique twist by sprinkling lemon zest on top, impressing the entire family.

This passion followed him through the years, and Niwala turned it into a career, traveling the world to learn different cuisines. Today, he still credits his grandmother for inspiring him, and every time he picks up a knife, he remembers that small kitchen where his journey began.

Now, as a celebrated chef, Niwala combines flavors and traditions, bringing joy to everyone who tastes his dishes.
