African Food Stories. Shot Beautifully. Told Honestly

We journey across the continent to document the vital recipes, timeless rituals, and the generations of people who keep them alive.  Magriza Made Me Cook is preserving Africa’s culinary heritage for the world through documentary episodes, live experiences, and collaborations.

The Heart of African Heritage

Magriza Made Me Cook — named after “grandmother” in isiNdebele — celebrates the depth of Zimbabwean and African food culture. We travel across the world documenting indigenous dishes, cultural rituals, and the traditions passed down through generations. More than recipes, we tell the stories, histories, and social fabric that make African food truly unique
