DLG, 2022 acrylic on canvas
(by Damahya Mongroo)

my muse: a young .dishescateringllc 👩🏾‍🍳
second slide: a photo of her (and i) @ one of her cooking themed birthday parties 🤯

the first of my unfinished “family & food” series; exploring how families shape their babies’ experiences with food. i started brainstorming the idea for this series shortly after closing our former brick-and-mortar. i treated the rest of that yr like sabbatical… whatever that looks like for a 22 yr old lol. i had a whole bunch of time on my hands and was doing some deep innerchild reflection —not only about myself but the ppl around me.

i was in deep reflection about how the cafe + food was at the center of mine and my dad’s relationship for many yrs leading up to his transition. i was able to acknowledge the good AND the not so good ways that played out too. i did alottt of painting.

somewhere during that time, this photo popped up on my phone. ofc i had to choose devonna as the first muse for the series!

shes my cousin.
she was my co-worker at the garden at one point.
she’s a chef.
she’s the owner of .dishescateringllc
she was a “business girl”— literally.
and now, she’s blossoming into such a beautiful a business woman.

if you’ve heard her speak about the start of her cooking journey, she mentions her cooking time with our grandma as a child. she calls her “her mama odie”— and if you know the reference you know !! she was a child groomed to be a chef through early kitchen rituals. since that age, shes been blessed with countless ppl and opportunities that have allowed her to expand on those gifts.

i am sharing this now but each yr since i painted this portrait, she finds new ways to amaze me (and everyone else watching her). she’s carved out a niche in our city’s food scene and i am so proud of her. she puts intention into her work… anndddd she even prepares vegan offerings for folks like her big cousin 😩😝

i guess i just want to say: great work DLG! KEEP ON GOING! YOU INSPIRE ME! I LUVVV YUUUUUU! 🤎🤎🤎

p.s this is how i feel typing rn: 🥺😭❤️‍🔥🫠🤯🥵🤩🥳😖🥹 lolll

also, enjoy some really fire details shots at the second half of the thread

yessss…… i’m back doing another food recap at the end of the next month 🙃i’ll get it right one day. for now, just enjoy views of some of the best tasting food i ate in the month of may! 😇🥗😇🥗😇🥗😇

1. clearly, i was craving pizza when i sat down to draw this visual + do y’all remember the middle school bubble letter phase??! had me in a chokeee holddd lol
2. shimmy got me into infusing my cooking oil with herbs before i add my veggies.. can’t get enough!
3. quick kamut pasta dish: red bell pepper for the sauce + veggie burger to give it depth 🎨
4. veryy “use what’s in the kitchen” sushi roll; quinoa to replace rice, avocado + pan seared oyster mushroom + yellow pepper for filling, seaweed on the outside bc he we were nottt thinking about the making sure we had a sushi mat before getting the grand idea to make sushi 🙂‍↕️
5. travel meal pt1: one-pot einkorn penne (kind of cajun tasting) + a salad seasoned w herbs and a squeezed lemon
6. travel meal pt2: a “brain food” (spelt) pancake!
7. portobello mushroom fritters, heavily seasoned w dried dill and cayenne pepper (made these a couple times bc they were a hit)🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
8. plantains are alwaysss on the menu bc i love them w all my heart, but these ones tasted extra fye
9. travel meal pt3: tomato + onion based quinoa, fried plantains, lettuce wraps + mushroom fritters

one of these days, i’ll make some content on what it’s like to be on this journey and traveling. rather than eating out on an entire trip, i’ve been trying to tap back into my cooking on the road bag bc when i prepare my own food is when i feel the best! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
