What You’ll Experience

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Geraldine lives in a well-lit, simple apartment in Agbogba, the suburbs of Accra. She is an expert on making many types of Ghanaian dishes. She cooks most of the local dishes in the traditional way, just like how her grandmother taught her! She also learned to cook international meals by watching cooking shows on cable TV. Ghanaian's enjoy a rather simple, but flavorful cuisine. Her cooking class lasts for about 1 hour. She will take you through each step in the cooking process and you will help her prepare two dishes from scratch. You will learn to make the main dish and appetizer. While you cook together, Geraldine will share the origins of dishes and the culture that surrounds them.
