Our Story

A Family Recipe, Shared with South Wales

From our home to your table – the bright, comforting flavours of Cameroon and West Africa, cooked with love and served across Newport, Cardiff and South Wales.

Family-run, from day one

Meet Joys & Sheryl

Mami Maggie’s Recipes grew from the kind of food that has always brought our family together. Named in honour of our mother and grandmother, Maggie, our business is rooted in the Cameroonian recipes, flavours and traditions passed down through generations. For us, cooking and hospitality have always been how we gather, celebrate, care for one another and stay connected to home.

Born in Newport, Mami Maggie’s Recipes is a family-run start-up led by mother and daughter, Joys and Sheryl. Today, we carry that tradition forward with the wider family never far from the kitchen on a mission to bring the soulful, vibrant flavours of Cameroon and West Africa to the Welsh high street.

Cooked with love. Shared with pride.

Where it comes from

Rooted in Cameroonian Heritage

At the heart of Mami Maggie's is a simple philosophy: good food, made with care, and meant to be shared.
