“I would say this there is nothing tastier than my wife”
For being such a great supportive wife and allowing him to cook for her despite her being a great cook herself, Chef Ali would pick one of her favorite meals to tantalize her with.
“My wife is really simple, she is a simple eater so she loves meat pies and these kind of fancy stuff, Pizza and all so I would make a lovely romantic chicken pie filled with some gorgeous mushrooms and chicken”
President Uhuru Kenyatta

“Someone whom I would actually not even cook for but would love to cook with is Uhuru Kenyatta, I would love to cook with my President, I don’t know, like I feel like he is the coolest, and that is basically me, I am not into politics, sometimes I don’t even understand what is happening in Kenyan politics, (laughs) because I don’t have the time, that is me”
“I adore him, I feel like he is one of the coolest presidents around and I am not being a politician here and I am not siding but at the end of the day you gotta say what you really like and you know I would love to cook with him and see if he can cook as well and then later enjoy the meal together that is something I would really love to do”
And for the honor, Chef Ali would love to cook with him his favorite meal of Nyama Choma (grilled meat) and while at it go crazy with all meat recipes and give Uhuru 'all you can eat' treat of a lifetime.
“Of course I would make some lovely Kenyan meat for my president, tupike Nyama sawasawa, Nyama kila aina tuchome, tupike tumbikiza, tupike nyama yangu ile special ya cheese on top, you know we just go crazy with our meat and then pair it with amazing tea to go with that”
