Zoe Adjonyoh is on a mission to bring African food to the masses. Born to a Ghanaian father and Irish mother, the writer and cook from South-East London deepened her understanding of West African cuisine after a trip to visit her extended family in Ghana. There she spent time exploring recipes in her grandmother’s kitchen and at the famous Kaneshi street market, where she met with cooks who shared their own takes on traditional recipes.

Zoe joins Wild & Well Zoe joins to talk about the cultural comfort she receives from food whist sharing a dish from her acclaimed cookery book Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen.

Described by The Observer as a ‘standard bearer for West African food’ and picked up by Nigel Slater as one to watch on the topic of immigration food in Britain, Zoe has been making waves in the food scene ever since her first sell-out successful supper clubs in 2011 at her home in Hackney Wick.

Named as one of “London’s hottest chefs” by Time Out, Zoe launched her first fixed restaurant space in 2015, at shipping container community project Pop Brixton.
