Veteran Ghanaian actor Fred Amugi has shared a lesser-known side of himself-his passion for cooking-confidently stating that no woman can ever cause him to go hungry because he's more than capable in the kitchen.
Speaking on GTV's Breakfast Show with host Kafui Dey, the respected actor revealed that he's been cooking since the age of nine, a skill he proudly attributes to his upbringing.
According to him, his mother not only encouraged him to cook by assigning him kitchen duties but also taught him by allowing him to observe and learn from her culinary routines.
One of his standout dishes is okro stew, which he uniquely prepares with coconut oil instead of the more commonly used palm oil. "It's one of my favourite meals to cook," he said, adding that in his household, the dish is often paired with rice-a twist from the usual accompaniments.In a lighthearted moment during the interview, Amugi playfully offered to cook for the host someday, promising that the meal would be so good, there'd be no doubt it came from his own hands. "You wouldn't even suspect a woman cooked it," he joked.
