    This will be added to one of my most memorable moments in Ghana. Geraldine is welcoming and super friendly. She made us feel like family from the moment we entered her home. The preparation of the food was practical and very hands on. The jollof with gravy was amazing. My favorite was the egusi and very delicious. I cannot wait to try these recipes at home with my family. I will say getting that when traveling to Ghana you must have patience. There was traffic but Geraldine and our Uber drive helped us find our way.

    It was a great experience with Geraldine. We first went to the market with her and were able to pick the menu we wanted to cook. The market visit with a local was a very special experience. At Geraldines home we cooked Peanut Soup with Rice Balls and Palaver Sauce with Yam. Geraldine is an amazing cook and it was so much fun to spend time with her in the kitchen. After cooking we enjoyed an amazing meal and had very insightful discussions about the culture in Ghana. We would definitely recommend you the experience - one of the highlights on our 2.5 weeks trip through Ghana.

    We had an amazing experience with Geraldine! She welcomed us into her home with open arms. Ahead of our cooking class, she sent us pictures of all the food options available for the class so we could choose exactly the meal we wanted to cook together. We decided on the peanut soup with rice balls and Geraldine accompanied the dish with fried plantains, peanut balls and tiger nut drink. Everything was so delicious. Geraldine took the time to get to know us and us know her. We loved every minute of it. We definitely recommend this experience while visiting Ghana for any traveler interested in cooking authentic Ghanaian food with a local!

    What a truly memorable experience! Geraldine made it so simple — she reached out ahead of time to ask about different foods and created a menu from that. We chopped and peeled and stirred and TALKED, falling into conversation easily like old friends. Plus, YUM. I sent a Ghanaian friend a picture of the Omo Tuo (rice balls) and Nkate Nkwan (peanut butter/groundnut soup) with chicken we made and she was VERY impressed. A must-do while in Accra! Thank you, Geraldine! ❤️

    Geraldine was a lovely and pleasant host. Very patient. The dish came out delicious and she even made a Ghanaian salad to go along with it. Highly recommend her for a cooking class,
