My Journey — Cook With Tima
I’m Tima, the creator behind Cook With Tima. Born in The Gambia and now living in the UK, I love bringing people together through food. My recipes mix the bold flavors of West African cuisine with the playful touches of global cooking.
Cooking has always been part of my life, but my online journey started during the lockdown, when I began sharing meals on Facebook. What started as simple posts quickly grew into a community, and step by step, I turned it into a blog I’m proud to call home.
Every dish here begins as an idea — imagine the taste, test the mix, adjust until it feels right. Expect comforting rice dishes, crispy chicken, vibrant stir-fries and salads that celebrate culture, color, and everyday joy.
- ❤️ Rooted in West African flavors and traditions.
- 📖 Easy-to-follow recipes with step-by-step guidance.
- 🍴 Perfect for meals with family and friends.
