When Petronilla Maria Nzomo started making mahamri and mbaazi—coastal delicacies in 2007, it was just a way to cope up with life.
With no formal catering training, a few family members behind her and only word-of-mouth to grow her customer base, she had little more than her home kitchen equipment, borrowed chairs and tables.
