Former rugby star turned chef Dennis Ombachi, popularly known as the Roaming Chef, has once again stirred the internet with a creative fusion of food and art.
In his latest cooking video, Ombachi teamed up with Tanzanian music star Alikiba for a flavorful celebration of culture, music, and shared artistry.
In a video shared on his social media pages, Ombachi is seen preparing an exquisite spread that blends African authenticity with refined creativity.
The menu featured lemon and herb grilled chicken, mchicha wa nazi, and lemongrass and herb grilled fish alongside ugali, a feast that mirrors the balance of rhythm and flavour that defines his culinary artistry.
Ombachi paired the meal with Alikiba’s new single, Sella, calling it a reminder that real music never fades.
“Every dish had its own melody, every bite a verse,” Ombachi wrote while drawing a poetic connection between his craft and Alikiba’s timeless musical storytelling.
“Because whether rhythm or recipe, true art always brings people together.”
The famous chef prepared the chicken and fish while Tanzanian star Ali Kiba was on ugali duty.
After every dish was ready and served, they then shared the meal, and it was evident that Ali Kiba was enjoying the flavorful dishes.
The collaboration was more than just a food video, as it was a statement on the power of creativity and connection.
Ombachi’s presentation brought visual vibrance, while Alikiba’s song provided the soundtrack, creating a sensory experience that resonated deeply with their followers across East Africa.
The chef, who has gained global recognition for his cinematic cooking videos, continues to blend African ingredients with contemporary flair transforming simple meals into visual poetry.
