How has West African -specifically Ghanian- cuisine [and its plant-based nature], influenced US and Caribbean food cultures?
Nana-Serwa Mancell is the Founder and chef of Veghana, a meal delivery and catering company based in Dubai that serves vegan West African cuisine. Nana believes that West African Food deserves a place among the popular global cuisines, and that it has an enormous amount to offer anyone on a plant-based diet.
As more people embrace a plant-based diet, it’s time for the world to look towards West Africa, and Nana is one of several key folks propelling that motion.
