Chef Eric Murabula Odhiambo, the head chef at Kiza Restaurant, has been at it for 11 years. He started from humble beginnings and is now the head chef in one of Nairobi's most loved African-cuisine restaurants.

"I started out as a cook at a restaurant in Nakuru. The head chef then noticed that I had an interest in making African food; he took me under his wing and taught me how to work my magic in the kitchen. After perfecting my skills, I finally took over his position when he left the restaurant," says Chef Eric.
