Marianna Farag is passionate about food. According to her, it's a larger than life multi-faceted topic that just never gets boring and each ingredient tells countless stories. Get inspired by her personal and professional journey. Born from an Egyptian father, Syrian mother in Greece and of French citizenship, she started travelling to Jamaica as of 2013 and eventually decided to move and make it home. In 2019, she took the bold step of following her dream: open a food curious vegan restaurant in Kingston, Jamaica.

She believes food has this tremendous power to connect people. Prior to opening the Kitchen, Marianna did global marketing for 15 years and blogged her way around the food world. She also loves all things art, music, nature, travel and swimming. Recently she's also picked up meditation as she tries to find balance in her life amidst the uncertain times we currently face.
