Chef Roberta Is Making Ghanaian Food World-Class

Roberta Annan

Accra

Jollof is just the beginning. Ghanaian food has depth that the world hasn't tasted yet.

Roberta Annan, Accra

Chef Roberta Annan runs one of Accra's most celebrated restaurants, where she elevates traditional Ghanaian cuisine to fine dining without losing its soul. 'I use the same ingredients my grandmother used,' she explains. 'Kontomire, garden eggs, dawadawa — but I present them in ways that make people pay attention.' Her restaurant has been featured in international food publications, and she's become an ambassador for Ghanaian cuisine. GhanaRoots Cultural Immersion Week includes a cooking class with Chef Roberta, where travelers learn to prepare classic Ghanaian dishes with a modern twist.
