When I first started, it was just me, my kitchen, and an idea I didn’t even know would work.
I had been cooking since I was 9. Hospitality was always around me. It followed me through every job I ever had. But building something of my own? That was different. That was scary.
From Malaysia, to Nigeria, to finally Cape Town — life kept moving. And somewhere in between becoming a mother for the first time and trying to build a business, I realised something…
You grow by doing.
Starting in my garage. Having to redo food some days. Getting orders wrong. Learning on the go. Missing my mom deeply while raising my own child.
There were days I wanted to stop. And some days I did take a break.
Being a mother and a business owner will stretch you soooo much in ways no one prepares you for. It stretches your patience, your faith, your energy, your confidence.
But it also stretches your capacity.
Today we cater for weddings, baby showers, birthdays &
Corporate events. We have two stores. @temis.kitchen@bakedbytemiii
And I’m still learning. Still making mistakes. Still taking it one step at a time.
If you’re waiting to feel “ready” before you start that business — you may wait forever.
Start anyway. Grow through it. Trust that each chapter will teach you what the next one needs.

There’s something really special about watching someone do what they’re truly meant to do 🤍
Temi doesn’t just cook… she creates, she pours love into every detail, every plate, every moment behind the scenes. From early mornings to late nights, from prep to presentation, it’s all done with intention, passion, and so much heart.
This is more than just food. It’s care. It’s consistency. It’s showing up every single time and making sure people feel something when they take that first bite.
A little appreciation post for the woman behind it all 👩🏽🍳🤍
