Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine, a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and lover of food and culture. I’m passionate about fusion cuisine, a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and traditions.
My approach is influenced by both Southern African and American cooking, shaped by my life experiences and reflected in the diversity of my recipes. I also focus on farm-to-table cooking, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. I believe food tastes best when it’s in season and close to its origin.
Travel plays a big role in how I cook and create. I love sharing my food adventures, from what I’ve eaten to where to eat, while discovering new flavors, cultures, and techniques that continue to inspire me.
I hope this space feels helpful and inspiring. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Happy cooking!
How do you go wrong with poke? An array of fresh fish and vegetables lined up for you to pick from. One of the best places to get the Hawaiian/Japanese dish in the DMV.

This location in Rockville is at the Asian cafeteria the Spot but there are others around the DMV. Poki DC is one of many tasty meals. Definitely check out Poki DC for the freshest tasting ingredients.
