Episode 107 with chef Selassie Atadika who is an award-winning chef, educator, and food systems advocate. Born in Ghana, her family fled following a military coup, eventually settling in New York. She credits her mother and travels to over 40 countries as a humanitarian aid worker for the United Nations as influences for her dishes.
In 2014, she returned home to Ghana to establish Midunu, Midunu Chocolates, and The Midunu Institute as love letters to Africa—a dedication to celebrate and preserve Africa’s rich culinary heritage.
Selassie loves playing at the crossroads where culture, community, and cuisine intersect with the environment, sustainability, and economy.
