Chef Kaltum
Cuisine: Sudanese
Chef Kaltum Mohamed learned to love cooking as a child by helping her mother in the kitchen and quickly realized her passion for food.
Kaltum wants to share her East African culinary traditions with all of Utah. Her cuisine is reminiscent of Sudan with unique spices and a beautiful presentation. Some of her specialties include gima, a crispy potato dish of peas, beef, and Sudanese spices; sambusa, a triangular pastry filled with vegetables and spices; falafel; and basbusa, a sweet, syrupy semolina cake.
In addition to catering through Mother of All, she owns Ali Baba Grocery and Bakery at 389 E 3300 S, Salt Lake City.
Chef Kaltum earns 2nd in statewide competition! - On April 17, 2018 the Women's Entrepreneurial Conference invited Chef Kaltum to pitch Mother of All, her catering business started with the help of Spice Kitchen Incubator, alongside four other finalists from across the state. After her 3 minute pitch, a short Q&A session, and four other business pitches, the competition judges made their decision.
Chef Kaltum traveled to San Francisco in May 2018 to cook for the La Cocina Annual Gala. La Cocina is a food business incubator that Spice Kitchen incubator is modeled after. La Cocina is a flagship providing expertise and resources not only to food entrepreneurs locally, but also to food business incubators across the nation.
