Zoe Adjonyoh
Zoe Adjonyoh is a writer and cook from South-East London. Born to a Ghanaian father and Irish mother, Zoe deepened her understanding of West African cuisine after a trip to visit her extended family in Ghana. There she spent time exploring recipes in her grandmother’s kitchen and at the famous Kaneshi street market, where she met with cooks who shared their own takes on traditional recipes.
Zoe has since become a leading voice for Ghanaian cuisine in London. Her pop-up restaurant and supper club has been making waves in the foodie scene – both in London and Berlin – and is helping to bring traditional and contemporary Ghanaian food to an audience outside of the Ghanaian community.
For her most recent project, Zoe has brought her Ghana Kitchen to shipping container community project Pop Brixton – a long term pop-up residency in London that gives Zoe the opportunity to test her ‘chop bar meets contemporary dining’ restaurant concept in a fixed space. It’s the epitome of social, informal and affordable dining – where guests gather to enjoy Ghanaian classics, notable for their heartiness and spice alongside Zoe’s contemporary inventions.
Zoe has already garnered a huge amount of press interest, doing a residency for The Guardian and being picked up by Nigel Slater as one to watch on the topic of immigration food in Britain.
