Ghana leads charge in promoting African cuisines on the global stage

According to the Vice President of the Chefs Association of Ghana, Michael Quainoo, the marketing of African dishes on the international stage led to the establishment of the West Africa Food Festival (WAFFEST) in 2018.

The annual event brings chefs and culinary professionals from various countries, including Benin, Liberia, Nigeria, Togo, South Africa, and Azerbaijan. 

It is the biggest regional food festival in the West Africa sub-region, and culinary professionals, governments, and policymakers deliberate on the future of gastronomy within the region.

When we initiated the West Africa Food Festival, our vision was to bring all our African brothers and sisters together

His sentiment echoes throughout the festival grounds, where chefs, food enthusiasts, and cultural ambassadors converge to celebrate the diversity and richness of West African gastronomy

As Ghana leads the charge in championing Africa’s culinary identity, the West Africa Food Festival serves as an array of hope and unity, inviting the world to savour the flavours of the continent.
