In my consistent desire to position Mola Foods in Nashua as a cultural hub for African food and culture, I have decided to introduce rice bowls to the community of Nashua and …
African cuisine and culture are rich, vibrant, and diverse, a belief that led LaFortune Jeannette Djabea, founder of Mola Foods, to develop Taste of Africa. A series of evening events that not only take guests on a culinary tour of Africa, Taste of Africa also offers a glimpse into its culture.
After a brief hiatus this summer, Taste of Africa returns to Mola Foods on Friday, November 18 at 6:30 p.m. Featuring live music by Rabihah Ruby Shabazz, the event will take guests on a culinary tour of Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Somalia. For those with dietary restrictions, each dish will also be offered gluten-free or vegan.
When LaFortune Jeannette Djabea, owner of Mola Foods in Nashua, received an email from the NH Chronicle in mid August, she said she felt “pure excitement.” This feeling of excitement, however, took years to achieve.
Building off the success of their bi-monthly Taste of Africa Dinners, Mola Foods will launch Taste of Africa Lunch every Thursday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., beginning Thursday, August 11. These lunches will include a choice of one of two dishes from Africa, each from a different country, and an African dessert. Lunch may be enjoyed at Mola Foods, which offers seating for approximately 40+, or picked up and enjoyed elsewhere.
A native of Cameroon, LaFortune Jeannette Djabea opened Mola Foods in Nashua to share African cuisine and culture, an intention that also informs her launch of Taste of Africa events this spring. Often featuring live music, Taste of Africa events provide guests with the opportunity to sample flavors from across the continent through both vegan and meat dishes that are paired with wine.
One of the biggest challenges faced by businesswoman and entrepreneur LaFortune Jeannette Djabea when she first opened Mola Foods in 2016 in Nashua was that many people did not seem interested in African cuisine. Change, however, may be in the proverbial air, as her recent Taste of Africa events appear to resonate with people of all ages.
