I am originally from West Africa and I attended cooking school in Ghana. I am also a fashion designer, writer, and an artist. My cooking is African fusion: healthy, organic, and delicious. I cook with my collection of copper pots and offer an eclectic and comfortable dining ambiance, including a patio garden and Moroccan lanterns. I love experimenting with different spices, recipes, and healthy food and putting my own healthy twist on original recipes. Cook with me and taste Africa in style!

Chef Afia was amazing! She was friendly, kind and had a great sense of humor . This was our wedding anniversary and I could not have if a better way to spend it. The drive to the venue and the company was well worth the money. And the food...the flavors of the meal were exquisite! We are thinking about our next social event and plan to have more couples come to cook with her. Thanks Chef Afia!

A delicious learning experience Chef Afia welomes you into her kitchen and her love of food and her knowledge of the cultural history of the food so enriches the time spent together. Every dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients and chef Afia is so generous with sharing her expertise and encouraging her students to add their own twist to all dishes. Her aroma filled kitchen and her ease with fish and fresh vegetables create the perfect learning environment . A delightful class with a most wonderful teacher.
