Our stories are in our food, and so are our connections. In this episode, we delve into the Ghanaian roots of Jamaican jerk cuisine and examine how Ghanaian waakye and Jamaican rice and peas share a close culinary kinship. What survived the Middle Passage wasn’t just people, it was knowledge. In our kitchens, that knowledge still simmers.

This series uncovers how two places, connected by heartbreak and history, still speak the same language, one plate at a time. #jamaicanfood #ghanaianfood #africandiaspora #jerkchicken #waakye #urbansass #oneingredient
