“The show is driven with a primary objective of empowering aspiring chefs as well as promoting indigenous and modern Ghanaian cuisine to Ghanaians and the world at large. It is, therefore, not surprising that we chose the theme “Developing Ghanaian Food Entrepreneurs Through Innovation & Culture” as the core message for this honourable gathering.
"The Food business is a multibillion-dollar industry and has great career opportunities that can be tapped into. Identifying great culinary talents through this initiative and grooming them to become great industry leaders, such as I believe this will create jobs and add value to the Ghanaian economy,” he said.
