Taking it back to earlier this summer, serving up some lovely dishes for a Vow Renewal.
Months of planning and coordination alongside the wonderful @yannishevents , it was an absolute pleasure to be part of such an intimate celebration.
Massive thank you to my angel @xsusie_fidelisx for being my right hand woman on the day, and of course to @eventstaffingsolutionsuk for always coming in clutch with great service and proactiveness.

Iâm excited to share that iâm featured in this Weekendâs Financial Times HowToHostIt series.
I had a pleasure of hosting a dinner party with some of my nearest and dearest, with the theme âAn ode to the African Hall Partyâ. I really wanted to capture the warmth and essence of community and togetherness that I felt so strongly at many hall parties growing up, and the food and drink that formed the heart of it. The family-style menu focused on those dishes that would always make the hall party buffet table, but with some reinvented and modern adaptation in true Asanka style.
A huge thank you to @kiramaerichards for capturing my journey and the heart of Asanka so beautifully. Another huge thank you to @christiancassiel for the strikingly gorgeous photographs. Both were such a joy to work with.
Finally a special thank you to the rest of the FT-HTSI team @amaraeno@rosiemayseed for the opportunity to share my culture and journey.

đ¸ Captures of the recent Asanka Supper Club.
An evening of good food, warm light, and even better company. đ˝ď¸â¨
From a plantain cake topped with fiery kpakposhito sauce, to deep-fried moi moi with prawns, creamy egusi, and a rich chocolate & baobab dessert - every dish had a different feel.
Thank you to everyone who joined this latest supper club, and for the dream team for always coming through. More to come soon.

Wrote a short piece featured in Family Style about Jollof Rice and the impact of the growing visibility of West African cuisine in the wider culinary space. The piece features many other incredible chefs from the African Diaspora making a mark in the West African food scene. Worth a read.

Fante Fante - Red snapper, fante fante stew, yam cubes, pickled onions.
Taking you over to the coast of Ghana to the Fante people. âFante Fanteâ is a traditional fresh fish stew made with a blend of the usual tomatoes, onions, ginger and kpakpo shito. The base of the stew is palm oil which gives it its unique taste and colour. This fishermanâs stew is traditionally paired with Fante Kenkey, yam or corn banku. First introduced to me by my aunt who lives in Winneba, and it has stayed with me since.

Langoustine & Prawn Toast, Scotch Bonnet Mayo, Chive.
Take the last piece of agege bread, slap on a mixture of minced langoustine and prawns seasoned with uziza, white pepper, sesame oil and salt before dipping in sesame seeds and frying. A Chinese takeaway classic with a little W.African twist. Obvs will slap with sweet chilli but of course a scotch bonnet mayo was deemed necessary by me. Throughly enjoyed.
