What happens when you blend the vibrant flavors of the West African nation of Cameroon, the boldness of Texas, and a tech-savvy communications expert with a passion for food? You get Solo Mesumbe – founder, chef, and creative force behind Bantu Private Chef.

Growing up in Cameroon, my childhood was infused with the rich aromas of African spices, hearty stews, and the communal joy of shared meals. These early experiences ignited a lifelong love for food that traveled with me when I moved to Texas in 1991. While my professional journey led me into the dynamic world of communications and technology, my heart remained firmly rooted in innovative cuisine.

My expertise in communications gives me a unique perspective on storytelling – but my favorite stories arre told through food. Every dish I creates is a narrative, blending traditional African ingredients with global influences to craft Afro-fusion cuisine that’s as exciting as it is delicious. For me, cooking isn’t just about nourishment; it’s about connection, culture, and creating moments that people will savor forever.

More Than a Meal: An Experience

Late in 2024, I decided to turn my culinary passion into a full-time mission, founding Bantu Private Chef to share the magic of Afro-fusion cuisine with the world. My dishes are a love letter to my Cameroonian roots, elevated with the adventurous spirit of Texas and a dash of global flair. Whether it’s a velvety amazing green sauce or a plate of suya-inspired beef brisket sliders, my creations promise to surprise and delight. As a private chef, I believe food should be more than just something you eat; it should be an experience. That’s why every event with Bantu Private Chef is thoughtfully designed to celebrate flavor, culture, and community. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party, a family celebration, or a corporate gathering, I strive to bring my signature creativity and warmth to every table.
