Tumiso Foods: A Taste of Heaven
...
Originally known as "Uzzie's Lunchbox," we have rebranded to Tumiso Foods — a name that means "Praise" in Tswana. Our mission is to share simple, sustainable recipes that inspire better nutrition for all.

Inspired by my work in a nutrition program for mothers and young children in Kwale, Kenya, and strengthened by my own journey into motherhood, I’ve witnessed how vital good nutrition is for a child's growth and overall health.

Our goal is to contribute to global Nutrition Targets, one delicious recipe at a time.
...
As we say, "Hunger is the best spice. Everyday recipes for everyday people!" We invite everyone to savor the joy of nutritious, wholesome food.

And remember — "Laughter is loudest where food is best." — Anonymous
