The People Behind the Place

“Young people may not want to prepare foods that take hours when faster, more commercial options are easier to sell.”

“Through Aprapransa Wednesdays, she has taken a dish deeply connected to Ghanaian heritage and made it accessible… without changing its identity.”

Nomad Africa Magazine

The magazine opens its feature with Chef Maamle: why she would take a traveller to Makola Market at dawn before any restaurant, and why Ghana’s indigenous dishes are heritage worth protecting.
