Sierra Leone’s culinary talent took center stage at the Ghana West African Food Festival, delighting festival-goers and judges alike with a rich showcase of the nation’s vibrant flavors. Led by the dynamic Chef Kainesie, the Professional Chefs of Sierra Leone captivated audiences with live demonstrations, tastings, and interactive presentations that highlighted the diversity and heritage of Sierra Leonean cuisine.

Chef Kainesie guided the delegation through a series of engaging activities, including cooking demonstrations that showcased traditional recipes and innovative twists on classic dishes. The festival’s judging panel, featuring culinary expert Chef Fanta, praised the team for their creativity, authenticity, and skill, noting that Sierra Leone’s presentation stood out for its balance of taste, presentation, and cultural storytelling.

Beyond the festival grounds, the Sierra Leone delegation extended its outreach to schools across Ghana, sharing culinary techniques, nutritional insights, and the cultural significance behind signature Sierra Leonean dishes. These educational visits fostered cross-cultural understanding and promoted appreciation for West African gastronomy among young audiences.

Sierra Leone’s participation comes ahead of the 2026 UNTOURISM Gastronomy Conference in April, signaling a commitment to strengthening regional culinary partnerships. The delegation’s successful showing is expected to pave the way for more collaborative events, joint tastings, and exchanges that celebrate West African culinary heritage.
