Samba

Giselle Makinde is a Brazilian-born chef and food entrepreneur who moved to Ireland in search of new opportunities and a fresh start. Like many who leave home, she felt disconnected from her roots, yet her childhood memories remain at the heart of everything she cooks.

Samba is a joyful celebration of Brazilian cuisine, family and cultural memory. It brings to life the flavours and traditions passed down from Giselle’s mother and grandmother, and honours the deep connection between food, identity and home.
