Jessica Nabongo, who previously made history as the first Black woman to visit every country, is embarking on a new culinary journey. Her upcoming cookbook, "Catch Me in the Kitchen," set for an early 2027 release, will showcase 195 recipes, each representing a country she has traveled to.
The book aims to capture Nabongo's personal food memories, drawing from diverse sources including celebrity chefs and her global network. This project follows her memoir, "The Catch Me If You Can," which detailed her extensive travels.
Complementing the cookbook, Nabongo is launching a Supper Club, with its inaugural event scheduled for July 26 in Detroit. The club will host dinners at various restaurants, highlighting different cuisines and encouraging social interaction among guests.
Each Supper Club ticket includes a preorder of the cookbook, and Nabongo herself will be present to share travel anecdotes. Her decision to travel the world stemmed from a desire to avoid a conventional career path while working in Japan.
