Hellen Mwanaisha Barasa

Writer of food writing and translation

  • 🇰🇪 Kasarani, Nairobi, Kenya
  • Valley View Courier
  • Since 1980
  • English
I write food writing. My work has appeared in Valley View Courier and a few places that have long since closed. I run a small writing group that meets every second Thursday. I always make time for a proper cup of tea.

More about Hellen

Some of my pieces still make me wince. Some, I'm proud of.
