Discover the flavours of Ghana and learn to make one of the country’s most loved dishes in this hands-on Waakye cooking class.
Join Monica, the heart behind Aduane, for a relaxed and interactive cooking experience where you’ll learn the techniques, ingredients and family secrets behind authentic Ghanaian Waakye.
At Aduane, we believe food is about more than just eating. It’s about family, culture, sharing stories and bringing people together. Our classes are designed to make you feel right at home, whether you’re discovering Ghanaian food for the first time or looking to perfect a dish you’ve grown up enjoying.
What You’ll Learn
During this class, Monica will guide you through the process of making traditional Ghanaian Waakye, sharing her tips and techniques along the way.
You’ll learn how to:
  • Prepare authentic Ghanaian Waakye using rice, beans and traditional ingredients.
  • Understand how to achieve the distinctive colour, flavour and texture of Waakye.
  • Cook the rice and beans to the perfect consistency.
  • Discover the traditional accompaniments that make up a delicious Ghanaian Waakye plate.
  • Bring everything together and serve your own Waakye.
This is a hands-on experience where everyone gets involved. You’ll cook together, ask questions and pick up those little tips that make homemade Ghanaian food so special.
What to Expect
Our classes are kept small, with a maximum of five guests, allowing everyone to get involved and receive personal guidance from Monica.
We’ll start with a warm welcome and an introduction to Aduane, before getting into the cooking.
Once the food is ready, we’ll sit down together to enjoy what we’ve prepared, share stories and celebrate the flavours of Ghana.
You’ll leave with new cooking skills, a full stomach and the confidence to recreate Waakye at home.

female Women-owned

Founded by mother Monica, Aduane was born from a passion for sharing authentic African flavors and the belief that some of life's best moments happen around the table. Inspired by generations of treasured family recipes, Aduane brings people together through food, storytelling, and shared experiences.
More than a catering and cooking class business, Aduane is a way of preserving and celebrating the recipes, traditions, and hospitality that have been passed down through family for generations. Every dish reflects the warmth, generosity, and sense of community that sit at the heart of African culture.
Growing up in Ghana, Monica learned traditional cooking techniques and family recipes from her mother and relatives, where meals were made with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and a lot of love. Today, she continues that tradition by sharing these cherished recipes and the stories behind them with others.
Through Aduane's hands-on cooking classes, guests are invited into a welcoming environment where they can learn authentic dishes from scratch, discover the cultural significance of ingredients and techniques, and enjoy the experience of cooking and eating together.
Whether you're joining us to explore African cuisine for the first time, reconnect with familiar flavors, or simply enjoy a memorable experience with friends and family, Aduane offers a space to learn, connect, and celebrate through food.
At Aduane, food is more than a meal; it's connection, culture, heritage, and community.
