Who We Are

Marleke Kitchen Corner is more than just a kitchen—it’s a vibrant hub of culture, community, and culinary excellence in Calgary, Alberta. Founded on the principles of inclusivity, empowerment, and sustainability, we aim to connect people through the love of food while leaving a lasting positive impact on our community.

At the heart of Marleke Kitchen Corner is our unwavering passion for African cuisine. We celebrate the rich and diverse flavors from across the continent, bringing the tastes and traditions of Africa to the forefront. Whether it’s a takeaway meal for one, catering for special occasions, or a live cooking session, we ensure every experience reflects the depth and beauty of African culinary heritage.

But we’re more than just a culinary destination. Our flagship “Pass It On Program” bridges generations, empowering seniors to share their culinary knowledge with youth through live, interactive sessions. Through these shared experiences, we preserve traditions, promote hands-on learning, and inspire the next generation to appreciate and carry forward our cultural heritage.

We are deeply committed to community welfare and food security. Our “Food for All Initiative” ensures that no meal goes to waste—excess food is donated to seniors, the homeless, and families in need. We also provide free training on food safety, HACCP, hygiene, and sanitation because we believe that “no one is safe until we are all safe.”
