I was fascinated by the way she moved effortlessly around the kitchen, turning simple, affordable ingredients into meals that were both nourishing and full of flavour. I watched closely, listened carefully, and asked countless questions. Without realising it, I was learning the skills and traditions that would one day become the foundation of Asedo's Kitchen.

Today, this blog is the next chapter of that journey. I'm creating a growing collection of written recipes so they can be enjoyed not only by my own family but also by South Sudanese and Sudanese communities around the world, people who have grown up in the diaspora, and anyone interested in exploring our cuisine.

Hi, I'm Akech, but most people know me as Asedo! I'm a South Sudanese-Australian food blogger based in Melbourne, Australia. A proud mother of six, wife, daughter, and sister.

Cooking has always been one of my greatest passions, and through Asedo's Kitchen, I share South Sudanese, Sudanese, and Kenyan recipes that have shaped my life and connected me to my heritage.

My mission is simple: to preserve traditional South Sudanese recipes, make them accessible to home cooks everywhere, and inspire more people to discover the rich flavours of South Sudanese cuisine.

My love for cooking began at a young age. I was born in Sudan and I grew up in Kenya, where food was at the heart of family life. My mother prepared many Sudanese dishes that reminded us of home, ensuring our family's recipes and traditions were passed down from one generation to the next.
