HAPPY
EASTER
For many Christians around Kenya, Easter represents a time of rejoicing,
renewal of spirit, and rekindling of faith. As the recent spell of hot, increasingly
humid weather gives way to cooling rains, this season for all Kenyans alike also
represents growth and new beginnings.
I
n the run up to the Easter season
and long weekend holiday, many
of us will take the opportunity to
plan an escape from the hustle
and bustle of work in order to
spend some quality time with our
loved ones. Some will escape to
the coast or one of our gorgeous
national parks; others, like me, look
forward to a relaxing staycation. In
this issue, we celebrate the season
by sharing ways to enjoy food and
drink with the family.
This month’s main feature explores
some of our favourite family friendly
restaurants in Nairobi. These
restaurants provide the essentials
for keeping kids happy – whether
beautiful outdoor spaces to run
around, the now ubiquitous jumping
castle, or even games on iPads for
the increasingly digitized generation.
If you feel like celebrating the
perfect Easter indoors, our resident
celebrity Chef Amanda of Amanda’s
kitchen will walk you through the
making of a delicious platter of
deviled eggs and lamb shank.
It’s all about Karen in this month’s
restaurant review and chef profile.
Resident foodie, Susan Wong
introduces our readers to J’s Fresh
Bar & Kitchen, one of Nairobi’s
only authentic gastropubs offering
delightfully fresh, flavourful food,
killer cocktails, and great music.
Chef Anthony, the creative genius
behind Que Pasa’s unique offerings,
shares tips and tricks from his
kitchen, including is favourite
ingredient – honey. Our Wine Chick
and Man About Town retell amusing
stories fueled by wine and whisky,
and Charity Keita, our resident
foodie, reflects on her days of social
competitive cooking.
This season also represents new
growth for our beloved Yummy
Card program. We’re gearing up to
announce the additions of several
new restaurants to the program,
offering great discounts and
experiences. The card, which is FREE
for a limited time, already gives you
access to discounts of up to 50% at
Nairobi’s coolest restaurants. More
