What Is Limu and What Are We Creating?
We started Limu Creates to highlight the rich cultural traditions we see in kitchens and at tables around the world.
Whether it's taking the time to prepare a dish that takes hours instead of minutes, or a grandma putting a second (...or third) plate of food in front of you, we have seen how food can be the language of love.
Our goal is to highlight this love and effort through watercolor and video to create a sense of connection to new and familiar cuisines. Simply put, we aim to capture "the taste of home."
Our YouTube and Substack, In the Kitchen, is where we go deeper into the community and highlight the unique tables, kitchens, and homes of chefs, grandmas, families, and friends around the world.
We hope you'll join us as we make our way from kitchen to kitchen!
