Yummy Choo at #FBC5 StrEAT Party

What can FBC5 attendees expect from Yummy Choo at the event?
Authentic Mauritian Street Food! We’ll be serving up some crispy Gateaux Piment (spilt pea chilli cakes) with satini (chutney)  and Mini Roti Chaud; roti’s filled with either curry grois pois (butterbean curry) or mauritian cari poulet (my mother’s family recipe chicken curry) and tomato rougaille and achar/chutney.

So, just who are Yummy Choo? 
Yummy Choo is a Mauritian venture started by myself and Mama Choo (as she is known) hosting supperclubs from my home which lead to pop-up dining events in London and private dining, bringing a taste of Mauritius to everyone.

What inspired you to start Yummy Choo?
Finding my love of baking and cooking once again when I was working full time in the city, bringing in cakes and sweet treats for colleagues. Seeing the happy faces inspired me to start my own business in food! I started cooking a lot with my mum and dad learning family Mauritian recipes which made me think that there aren’t enough places out there to eat homecooked Mauritian cuisine, so I started up a supperclub, which lead on to pop up events, collaborations and private dining.

And where do you see it going?
I would like do more private cheffing jobs, regular residency pop ups, maybe somewhere more permanent in the future in Mauritian cuisine and for it to become a familiar cuisine and gain the attention & exposure it deserves.

Tell us a bit about food from Yummy Choo?
Comforting, family recipes served with a smile, sometimes with my own modern twists and bringing a slice of sunshine to the UK!

What does it mean to you?
Everything, I really am determined to make this work, it is my full time passion, with the help of supportive family and friends who have come along on the ride, I don’t want to disappoint them or me!
