Our Story

We're Nadia and Christine. We started Nou Ni because we couldn't find Haitian comfort food easily or quickly.

Getting the flavors we loved meant cooking for hours or traveling far, and it rarely tasted like our mom’s kitchen. As we got older, we realized the challenge wasn’t just convenience, it was cultural. We don’t speak Kreyol and many of the recipes we grew up with lived only in our mother’s head, which made me worry about how we'd pass our heritage to my future kids. Patties were the one food that always brought us home, so my sister and I decided to reimagine them for the way we live today, quick, easy, and still full of tradition. Nou Ni is our way of keeping Haitian culture alive and sharing it with families who want that same connection.
