Beyond the plate.
Mommy P’s Kitchen began in 2024 in Executive Chef Patience Shakwanda’s own kitchen—with a small dream, treasured recipes, and big flavors.
She wanted to share the tastes of Congo that remind her of home: marinated meats, fresh herbs, bold ingredients, and the warmth that gathers around a shared meal.
What began with family and friends grew through word of mouth into a kitchen serving celebrations and tables across Kalamazoo.
