Our Family Business
Anoesjka Imambaks, the visionary behind Bara Box, combines her Surinamese heritage with a deep passion for community and family. Together with her daughters, who share her love for cooking, Anoesjka has turned a family tradition into a thriving business. Her savory Baras, a cherished recipe passed down through generations, are lovingly prepared for every special occasion.
During the pandemic, Anoesjka realized that food has the power to bridge gaps and create connections among friends and family. At a time when connection mattered most, the Bara became a symbol of togetherness, inspiring her to share this tradition with a wider audience. This vision also led to the creation of the “Bara Talks” podcast, where uplifting and inspiring stories are shared to spread positivity and unity.
With Bara Box, Anoesjka not only offers delicious, authentic Baras but also inspires others to celebrate the joy of connection and community.
Join us in spreading positivity, one Bara at a time.
