Ghanaian cooking has texture, depth, and a logic built over centuries. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn to prepare classic local dishes using the methods that have shaped them — the coalpot, the asanka grinding stone, plantain leaf wrapping — rather than shortcuts. Your guide doesn’t just teach you what to cook; they explain the cultural context behind each technique and ingredient. Eating what you made at the end is the reward. Ages 13 and up. Open to curious beginners; no kitchen experience needed.

Waakye, kelewele, grilled meat, fresh juice, I lost count eventually. This is how I like experiencing a new country. Instead of just telling us about Ghanaian food, we actually got to try everything. Come with an empty stomach.

The market was an experience by itself. So much happening everywhere, but our guide knew exactly where to take us and what ingredients we needed. Cooking afterwards was really fun and surprisingly easy. I'm definitely attempting the recipe again when I get home.

Even as a Ghanaian, I enjoyed this more than I expected. Going through the market with the chef and then preparing everything together made it very interactive. The food came out really good too. Nice experience if you're looking for something different to do over the weekend.
