On this national Farmer's Day in Ghana 🇬🇭, we celebrate all the amazing farmers who make it possible for us to eat well and are a pillar of our economy. With a cocoa heritage dating back to 1879, Ghana is renowned for the quality and quantity of its cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate. The traditional method of fermenting cocoa beans in plantain and banana leaves instills a unique flavor, while the country's quality control system provides consistency. We would be nothing without you. Ayeeko!!

Looking forward to having our founder joining the conversation about dining within planetary boundaries and inclusion in gastronomy.
Repost After 18 months of tumult, what’s next for the hospitality industry? How can restaurants be a positive force in an ever-shifting world and how should gastronomy respond to the challenges of climate change? Moderated by culinary historian Regula Ysewijn, chefs Daniel Humm, Selassie Atadika, Pía León and Junghyun Park will take the stage to answer these questions and more at : Aftershock, which will take place in Antwerp, Flanders, on Sunday 3rd October as part of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021 events programme, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna.

The tide-turning events, enforced closures and changes to daily life that characterised much of 2020 and 2021 didn’t just challenge hospitality businesses to reinvent themselves in myriad ways, but also led many chefs and restaurateurs to reassess their practices and seek new, progressive paths. From sustainability and the impact that our eating habits have on the planet to topical questions of authenticity and the amplification of diverse cuisines, and finally the examination of accountability and wellbeing in an industry suffering from a labour shortage – many issues came to the fore on a global level, challenging the industry to improve and change. It is these pressing issues that will be the focus of : Aftershock.

Save the date and make sure to tune in on Sunday, 3rd October at 3pm CET on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants Facebook and YouTube channels to follow live.

Repost from A key component to the La Liste Garden Party on Monday 6 September is the panel discussion with chefs Selassie Atadika, Dabiz Muñoz, Guillaume Gomez, and Alexandre Mazzia under the theme of Culinary Metamorphosis: Culture, Catastrophe, and Cuisine.

Food is one of the most beautiful expressions of a culture. By eating and drinking we learn of the land, traditions, and heritage. And of course the people. We find inspiration through travel and the experience of different flavours - how does this lead to evolution of cuisines?

Not only does gastronomy grow through a system of give and take with other cultures, but also through catastrophes like the current pandemic, when we’re all motivated by the desire to survive. How did the worldwide shutdown affect culinary evolution? Has it made diversification essential? There is no doubt the events of the last two years will transform the world and within that the world of gastronomy. We want to ask how these changes will happen, and where and when.

Meet our founder! Born in Ghana, Selassie has always had a passion for the culinary arts - but her road to starting Midunu was a circuitous one. After completing her Master’s degree from Columbia in International Affairs, Selassie embarked on a decade of humanitarian work through the United Nations throughout Africa.
Inspired by the rich origin stories of the cuisines she encountered and troubled by the injustices that plagued food systems throughout the continent, Selassie set about introducing her “New African Cuisine” to her home in Ghana - bringing local, seasonal, and underutilized ingredients to the forefront in the dishes she creates (and landing some pretty impressive international awards and recognition along the way).
