Karibu!
Our hosted dinner parties, cooking classes, and foodie events are an invitation to step into Jikoni Studio and experience Kiano Moju's signature AfriCali cooking at its most communal.
These ticketed evenings center on East and West African food traditions, elevated by California’s seasonal produce, and are served family-style. Simply book your seat at our table and join a community of food lovers for a curated, one-of-a-kind dining experience in our Beverly Hills studio.
This is a 21+ event.
Meet the chef!
Kiano Moju is an author, African food advocate, and the chef-owner of Jikoni, which brings her bestselling cookbook, AfriCali: Recipes From My Jikoni, to life.
Named one of the best cookbooks of the year by The New York Times, Food & Wine, and Bon Appétit, AfriCali food celebrates Moju’s Kenyan and Nigerian roots through the colorful, produce-driven lens of her California upbringing.
These cross-cultural experiences form the foundation of Moju’s AfriCali identity – an approach that celebrates African cooking as everyday cooking.
Through Jikoni's series of ticketed culinary events, including dinner parties and cooking classes, Moju reimagines the flavors of her heritage in ways that feel new and exciting, while still familiar and nostalgic – and all distinctly Californian.
