Cooking classes with a difference in Ghana.

Had such a great time learning how to make Ghanaian food! The classes went really well, and everything was explained in such a fun and easy way. We made Red Red and Waakye, and both turned out so delicious. It was an amazing experience learning more about Ghanaian culture through food. Highly recommend!

Our Ghana food experience

This was an amazing experience. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and worked to ensure our experience was memorable. He answered questions with a smile. We discussed selecting vegetables and preparation, oils and spices, cooking over an outside grill and much more. Ghanaian customs and culture were included. Now to prepare them at home.
