Mean Feeds: From footy to foodie, James Segeyaro takes pride in representing PNG on a plate
Representing Papua New Guinea on the footy field has been an immense source of pride for James Segeyaro.
What may come as a surprise, however, is this former Kumul's love for the kitchen.
From footy to foodie, Segeyaro is plating up home-cooked meals which he shares online, exploring culinary content across various cultures as well as familiar dishes from his home back in PNG.
"I'm still learning," he admitted with a smile.
"I strive for progression, not perfection."
But his love of food goes a whole lot deeper than the flavours.
What motivates Segeyaro is the community fostered through the literal act of breaking bread with others.
He also highlights how preparing a meal can be a therapeutic process.
"When I was cooking … I used to self-reflect a lot on how my life was at the time," he said.
Sharing familial anecdotes along the way, Segeyaro told Nesia Daily that what we've seen so far is merely an appetiser and the main course of his culinary journey is still to come.
