In 2022, chef @satadika had the amazing opportunity to visit the Pacific region of Colombia and learn from some incredible culinary custodians. Just off the coast of Buenaventura she met this couple that have been married and fishing together for over 50 years. Just watch the syncronization! #goals

For this month’s nomadic dinner, we will explore Ghana’s obsession with eggs! Eggs hold significant symbolism and are incorporated into various aspects of life, including traditions, ceremonies, and cuisine. Making an appearance on our menu? Kosua ne m3ko, egg with pepper.
We still have a few seats left so join us at our table as we celebrate Ghana’s Independence at Midunu House on 8 and 9 March 2024! Check out the menu and reserve your seat for an unforgettable experience! 🍽️🇬🇭 Link is in the bio.
We are excited to announce that reservations are now open for a unique dining experience. As part of El Anatsui’s Tema Artists Residency 2021, @maelokko and @satadika have a few select seats available for our dining exhibition, The Rise and Fall of Ghana’s Cash Crops. The menu features coconut and rice crops which we have been passionate about.
The return to the communal table represents an important site for the unalienating the act of eating from rituals of food production and exchange. For their dinner exhibition, Lokko and Atadika search for the “root” of the Ghanaian table, represented by the vernacular wooden "apampa" market tray. Commonly carried on the heads of Ghanaian market women to temporarily store, transport, display and sell food ingredients, the apampa tray is used to carry both fresh ingredients and cooked food as they navigate both marketplace and streets of the city. Using three sizes of apampa trays, the dining table is reconstructed to allow individual consumption of meals, sharing and those that offer visibility and co-authorship. A central stream of apampa trays run through the middle offering pathway for plants, micro-ingredients, including minerals, spices and herbs to be surveyed, reached for and used by those eating the meal.
We hope you will be able to join us while we share a multi-sensory experience highlighting the past present and future of the agroecologies of Ghana. Book your seat now! [see link in profile]

I met these women in the northern part of Ghana. They travel 3 hours from home and work for several months of the year, away from their children and husbands to be able to put food on the table and send their children to school. For hours a day, they work under the unforgiving hot sun to harvest crops for us to eat. Many of them will never have the opportunity to own land. Yet, they still find the energy and joy to keep themselves going with song and dance. These are some of the hands that feed us. Ayekoo!!

The early morning rise to make it in time to see the fishermen bring in the catch of the day was soooooo worth it.

I left with fresh fish, new discoveries and so many possibilities.
This video is a flash back to an eye opening visit to @cnta_ outside of Kumasi a few weeks back. I was leaning in to get a close-up shot of the gorgeous moringa flowers and this butterfly just landed.

Sometime when you are least expecting it, life throws you a wonderful gift. The last few months I've had the joy of engaging in so many wonderful conversations. The cross-pollination of ideas has me pumped up for the months and years ahead. Thanks @maelokko, @kitchenbutterfly, @aemcbride, @elegbede.m, @mercadomunicipalvdl @fabulouslyfitnfine, @theafricanruby, and @africashowboy for keeping me inspired. Feeling blessed!
Humbled and excited to be listed among these amazing chefs and change-makers.

It had been a wild and crazy ride since this episode of African Voices aired on CNN in 2016. We were 2 years in on our 'nomadic dinner', the first pop-up dining concept in Accra. The landscape here looks different now, including our brick and mortar location. One thing which hasn't changed? We still love celebrating Africa's culinary heritage every chance we get!! We are so proud to have the opportunity to share this love affair well beyond the borders of Ghana.
Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary African Voices!!!

As we celebrate Farmers Day in Ghana, I want to give thanks to farmers, producers and all the many hands that make it possible for into have produce from our land.
In my travels in the northern regions of Ghana, I noticed that many of those manually harvesting the crops were women. Many of them seasonal farmer who leave their their older children behind (and smaller children on their backs) to find work miles away for a couple months to make money to feed their families. Many of them without access to land or the right to inherit land.
Let's continue the dialogue on farmers, farming and food sovereignty.
I've spent the last few days attending the #starchefscongress2018. Here we have one of the masters, @studiokitchen1 working his magic. I can confirm it's tasted even better!
