Ghana vs Nigeria — one kitchen, two recipes, one winner. The debate ends here.
Understand where the Jollof Wars came from — the cultural pride, the colonial history, and why this debate runs so deep across West Africa and its diaspora.
Learn what separates Ghanaian jollof from Nigerian jollof — different tomato bases, seasoning profiles, rice varieties, and cooking methods.
How to fry down a base properly, layer in seasoning, and coax the kind of deep, smoky flavour that makes jollof worth fighting about.
How to taste at every stage, trust your palate, and season with confidence rather than guesswork.
All ingredients and equipment provided — just bring your competitive spirit.
Your instructor demos key techniques before you take over at your own station.
Everyone cooks solo — this is a competition, not a collaboration.
Sit down together at the end to eat, taste blind, and crown a winner.
Take home a digital recipe pack with both the Ghanaian and Nigerian recipes.
All safety equipment provided. The kitchen is fully equipped and instructor-supervised throughout.
