    BEST HOME Cooking Class

    Zarinah_I, Mar 2025
    I cannot recommend enough this Authentic Ghanaian class! From the moment we arrived, Cecilia was vibrant and welcoming. She was not only knowledgeable but passionate about sharing the rich culinary traditions of Ghana. The ingredients were fresh, the seasoning and spice was on point and I loved learning how to make authentic dishes, my favorite is jollof rice. The hands-on experience allowed me to get a true feel for the culture and flavors, and her explanations made even complex dishes seem easy to master. The class was fun, educational, and incredibly delicious! This experience is a must for anyone visiting Ghana - it's more than just a cooking class; it's an immersion into the heart of Ghanaian cuisine and culture. Trust me, You dont want to miss it and the leftovers taste better the next day 😋.

    Very Thorough, Hands-on Cooking Experience With Such A Kind Lady

    Keith_J, Dec 2024
    Such an amazing time cooking with Ceccy. I’ve been to many countries around the world and never had such an in-depth, end-to-end cooking experience. I recommend taking this cooking class with no plans after so you can make all the dishes at a relaxed pace and also learn about Ceccy’s ministry, youth support, and other work she does in the community. She does have very nice to-go containers as well so don’t worry if you forget to bring your own. Enjoy cooking with Ceccy!

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    I am deeply appreciative of your amazing feedback. We are delighted to learn that you found the culinary experience both distinct and in-depth, especially coming from someone with extensive global tour experiences. Your suggestion to adopt a more relaxed schedule for the class is entirely appropriate. I do my best to patiently guide guests through each stage, ensuring that they not only appreciate the culinary experience but also feel a sense of connection to our inspiring community work. We are pleased that the to-go containers were also beneficial. I am grateful for your complimentary remarks and for recommending this to others. Wishing you the very best with the rest of your endeavours in Ghana.

    Best cooking class ever :)

    Annie_W, Aug 2024
    I had the absolute best time with Cece :) she is so sweet, welcome and brilliant. She taught me how to make 4 different Ghanaian dishes that were all DELICIOUS. We spent so much time talking about Ghanaian dishes and culture. I learned so much and I am so so so grateful that she shared this little piece of Ghana with me. This was definitely the highlight of my trip here. I would absolutely recommend everyone to stop, support local businesses, and eat delicious food :)
