CAROL KHANU – About the Owner She is a 4-time award winning chef and owner of Mabin’s Kitchen from Maryland. Carol’s passion for cooking has been burning since the age of 9. Following a landslide taste test for the best jollof 3 years straight & the only consecutive winner, Carol decided to visit & study the best jollof recipes from around west Africa to develop first-hand skills & knowledge on how to cook each country’s jollof style perfectly. She was mentored by a great influential woman in her life who happened to be Nigerian. Through this experience, Carol learned that the main differences between each country’s styles were the traditional spices used. Carol believes “the spices make all the difference with the flavors,” she says. Due to this Carol developed a series of special blends of a spice & herb mix. That incorporates all organic & fresh herbs that bring out that raw, aromatic, taste from any protein or vegetable. Address: 6860 Arlington Expressway Service Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32211.
