What Is Limu and What Are We Creating?

Our goal with Limu Creates is to highlight the love and effort that we see in kitchens around the world. We use hand-painted watercolor illustrations and video to create a sense of home if you are familiar, or a sense of novelty and excitement to try new flavors and cuisines.
Our YouTube and Substack, In the Kitchen, are 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!

Meet Us

  • Nikki is our Recipe Developer and Head of Narrative, who uses video and writing to add flavor and depth to the art that we share with you. She is inspired by the rich culture that flows from generation to generation, and enjoys learning about traditions other than her own. When it comes to creativity, she loves bringing people together around food, highlighting stories through narrative video, and playing with words to find new ways to connect the dots of life.

  • Thanh is the watercolor artist who adds life and soul to the recipes, poems, and prints we share. She enjoys exploring the world through the lens of her palette. Whether it's food, animals, nature, or something else, she feels most creative when she puts the paintbrush to the page. She also shares her top watercolor tips in her latest book, Watercolor Food Illustration: Learn to Paint Realistic Foods, Ingredients and Keepsake Recipe Cards.
