The African continent may not be a competition to the likes of French and Spanish countries in Europe as a culinary destination, however food lovers on the African continent are making impressive statements in the food world.
Kwame “Bishop” Akonnor is a Ghanaian who’s passion for food is very impressive. Interestingly, as he sits down in his Accra residence, the names of African dishes and ingredients roll off his tongue.
Though Kwame is a trained business graduate he rather finds joy in adding a twist to locally made dishes to give them a modern taste.
He runs a nomadic restaurant in Ghana’s capital city. Occasionally, he serves different courses of meals at a location that is disclosed only to confirmed guests.
Adapting old recipes is key to Kwame, he tells Business Insider SSA that his menu celebrates Ghanaian culinary heritage by putting a modern twist on traditional foods from across the continent.
