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.

Over the past three years of trading, Mami Maggie’s Recipes has grown from a cherished family dream into a thriving fixture of the South Wales food scene. What started as a passion for sharing authentic Cameroonian heritage has blossomed into a busy catering business, serving everything from intimate private parties to large-scale weddings and corporate events across Newport, Cardiff, and beyond.

Along the way, we have achieved some incredible milestones. We made history as the very first African food business to trade at the major Cardiff Farmers Markets, the prestigious Abergavenny Food Festival, and several leading food festivals right across South Wales.

Alongside building a loyal community at these markets and earning a reputation for our inclusive Halal, vegan, and gluten-free catering, we also reached another major goal: launching our signature handcrafted sauce line. Bringing our authentic chilli, green spice, and savoury sauce blends from our kitchen directly to your home pantry has been one of our proudest achievements yet, allowing our customers to enjoy the bold, vibrant flavours of West Africa every day.

These three years have been a brilliant journey of growth, community connection, and culinary passion and we are just getting started as we work toward bringing a permanent taste of Cameroon to the Welsh high street.

At Mami Maggie’s Recipes, we cater for a wonderful, diverse mix of clients right across South Wales and beyond. Our typical clients are people and organisations who love great food and want to offer their guests something truly memorable, authentic, and full of flavour.
