Meet Chef Judy King’oo

CHEF Judy King’oo’s culinary interest came from her parents who loved cooking in their humble kitchen on the Kenyan coast. She graduated with a special certificate in Food & Beverage from Mombasa Polytechnic University and completed her on-the-job training at both Italian and Japanese restaurants.

Her true training began at La Griglia Restaurant and Shogun Sushi Bar in Malindi under the mentorship of renowned Italian Chef Michele Amadei as she worked her way up through the ranks to the top position. With the decline in tourism on the coast, Judy decided to venture to other areas of Kenya, first to Nakuru, then making her way to the “big city”. In Nairobi, she first consulted with a university catering group, after which she was awarded the position of sous chef at Mawimbi Seafood Restaurant.

The Mawimbi experience truly elevated Judy’s career as she had the opportunity yet again to train under another great chef, Cultiva’s Chef Ariel Moscardi, who at the time was consulting for Mawimbi. Now at Samaki Samaki, as executive chef, Judy leads a team of 30, serving numerous patrons with delicious Mediterranean and African-influenced seafood dishes that she created along with hospitality consultant Daniela Cellini.

Judy is a mother of two, a lover of a healthy and active life, and now a mentor to many in her right.
