Episode #92
Reclaiming Ghanaian Food Identity, with Chef Abiro Wisdom
In today's episode, I’m joined by Chef Abiro Wisdom, executive chef of the Ghana Food Movement, a non-profit championing Ghana's indigenous ingredients and food culture. Abiro grew up in Northern Ghana, and this year the Ghana Food Movement won the World's 50 Best Champions of Change Award. You'll hear why Ghana imports close to $1 million a year in vanilla flavouring and the indigenous spice Abiro's kitchen believes could replace it, the Northern Ghanaian food rule about eating the meat last that still shapes how he works today, and the striking testimony he heard about a woman's 90-day red sorghum diet after a cancer diagnosis.
