THE FOUNDER'S STORY
I am Kieu-My and I am a really passionate believer of wholesome food, delicious and seasonal; good for you and kind to the planet.
​
I trained at Ferrandi, a famous cookery school in Paris - and as a Natural Chef and Plant-Based Chef in London. I celebrate seasonal meals and local fresh ingredients with a vast array of textures, flavours and always freshness. My style of cooking is strongly influenced by my French-Asian background but also by my rich encounters with Chefs during my extensive travels.
​
At the heart of everything I do, I avoid food waste and do not use ingredients that are detrimental to health and contribute to climate change. ​
​
During my rare free-time, I enjoy taking part in community projects. In this picture (together with Prince, the Head Chef), I was cooking for SUFRA (a local charity based in North West London) to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Thanks for visiting!

OUR VISION
Our Vision is to become London's leading sustainable corporate caterer and culinary events company offering our clients exciting plant-based culinary experiences inspired by the healthiest ethnic culinary traditions. Every aspect of our business is carried out with the environment and the well-being of our clients in mind.
OUR MISSION
9Kitchens is a profit-for-purpose business with a mission to:
> Support and contribute to empowering people who face barriers to integration and employment. We are able to train them, and provide some of them with earnings above London's living wage, and thus enabling them to gain confidence and help their families.
​
> Promote the work of Chefs from minority ethnic backgrounds who have set up their own catering or food businesses.
​
> Inspire all members of our local communities regardless of their social or ethnic, background, religious faith, or their age group about the importance of healthy eating without impacting our planet.
