What happens when two sisters from a long line of seasoned African home cooks decide to bring their childhood kitchen memories into modern homes?
You get Sisé (pronounced “sea-say”), a fast-growing African meal kit brand founded by Dammi Sherri and her sister. Born from a deep-rooted passion for food and family, Sisé is not just another meal prep service. It’s a cultural reconnection wrapped in 20-minute simplicity.
Growing up in a big, loving Nigerian-Irish household, food was everything. But even with their love for cooking, the sisters understood that preparing authentic African meals, rich in flavour and often complex in preparation, can feel like a chore in today’s busy world.
So they created a solution: fresh, pre-prepped, preservative-free kits that cut out the hours of chopping and planning, while preserving all the soul.
What started in Dammi’s kitchen is now reshaping how African food is experienced in the UK. Her vision? To make Nigerian meals as easy and familiar to prepare as pasta. And she’s doing exactly that, while proudly flying the flag for Black-owned innovation.
Each Sisé kit includes high-quality ingredients from trusted suppliers (many of whom are African-led businesses themselves) and step-by-step instructions that make cooking feel like home, even for first-timers. Their tone of voice is familiar, their language is intentional, and the packaging? A love letter to the continent.
From Jollof Rice to Egusi Soup and Ayamase Sauce, Sisé is making it easier for busy professionals, students, and second-gen Africans to enjoy the food they grew up on, without spending hours in the kitchen or sourcing hard-to-find ingredients.
The Sisé Sisters Are Serving Up Culture, in Under 20 Minutes
In a nutshell, Sisé is about convenience, cultural pride and that nostalgic feeling of cooking with your mum, auntie, or grandma. It’s about reclaiming time while holding on to tradition.
With a pickup service launching soon, a subscription plan in the works, and an ever-expanding menu of regional favorites, the sisters behind Sisé are just getting started.
At The Brief Network, we love to spotlight founders who are building boldly and reimagining what’s possible. And with every meal kit sold, Sisé is doing just that, one delicious bite at a time.
