A name carried across continents.

Katshema is Rachel's maiden name — Congolese by blood, London by home. She studied Food Technology at university, then spent years in her kitchen doing what no textbook could teach her: perfecting a recipe entirely her own.


She has always fed everyone who walks through her door. Katshema is simply that instinct — bottled.

Fresh chilies — the heart of Katshema
"It's my name. My family name. From Congo. Now it's on this jar."
— Rachel Katshema Shabuki Leany, Founder
