Majlis Resort in Lamu is a wonderful getaway, not least because of the delicious food. I also met head chef John Chega and his deputy Ramadhan Kadenge and was fascinated by their journey into cooking.
Growing up, Chega, 38, wished to join the armed forces after secondary school. “When I did not make it, my father told me of an opportunity at a cooking school, so I tried it for one year,” he said.
