Fufu + Light Soup Class

Join us for an intimate, hands-on cooking experience where you’ll learn how to prepare Ghana’s beloved Fufu + Light Soup from scratch with Mama Akua.

Fufu, a smooth, stretchy dough made by pounding starchy vegetables like cassava and plantain  is a staple across West Africa. Light Soup, a fragrant and gently spiced broth, is often served with fish, chicken, or goat and is known for its comforting, restorative qualities. Together, they make one of Ghana’s most iconic and soul-satisfying meals.

You’ll cook, taste, and share stories in a warm, welcoming setting perfect for both beginners and seasoned home cooks. This is more than a cooking class it’s a taste of tradition, connection, and community.
