Waakye for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Waakye for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The smoky and warming profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced kontomire cocoyam leaves used that way before.

fufu and soup eating requires communal sharing and is eaten with the hands. I explained the a family Sunday fufu meal context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. sobolo sorrel drink was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
