The Fulani Kitchen Foundation Culinary Heritage Village in Ghana
Chef Binta, UN Tourism Ambassador for Responsible Tourism and Executive Chef at Dine on a Mat, a Nomadic Restaurant, established the Fulani Kitchen Foundation in 2020 with the objectives to improve food security for rural communities, increase productivity through efficient post-harvest processing, and raise the income levels of women.
Her vision for gastronomy is an invitation for guests to step outside of their comfort zone and explore flavor and sustenance through the palettes of Fulani women, with a focus on celebrating the undervalued and underused ingredients of Africa. The Fulani Kitchen Foundation Culinary Heritage Village´s primary goal is to preserve, promote, and celebrate traditional culinary practices, recipes, and food cultures of West Africa. The initiative aims to educate visitors about the culinary history, ingredients, cooking techniques, and cultural significance of local foods and to inspire people about the rich diversity of food cultures in Africa. Through immersive experiences and educational opportunities, the Culinary Heritage Village aims to inspire and help foster a deeper appreciation and understanding for West African cuisine among visitors.
