Ghanaian cuisine is overlooked compared to some of the most widely eaten foods, like Indian, Mexican, Chinese, or Italian. But Ghanaian food has a quality all its own and delivers tastes that are hard to find in other corners of the world. Nowadays, you can find Ghanaian food in many of the larger cities in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond but imagine recreating it in your own home.

About the Author
I am S D Amoako (Stella), the proud author of this eBook, and I am thrilled to share my love for cooking and my passion for West African cuisine with you. I come from Ghana, a country known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and, of course, it’s delicious food. My journey into the culinary world began when I was a teenager, learning how to cook under the loving guidance of my mother.
Every morning, we would go to the local market to shop for the freshest ingredients, and every evening, we would prepare meals that brought our family together. It was during these daily trips to the market and hours spent in the kitchen that I discovered my passion for cooking, a passion that has stayed with me throughout my life.
Today, I am excited to share with you some of the dishes that hold a special place in my heart, particularly the iconic palm nut soup paired with fufu. These recipes reflect not only my culinary heritage but also the joy and pride I feel every time I prepare them. I hope that through this eBook, you too will fall in love with these dishes and share them with your loved ones.
The Richness of Palm Nut Soup
Palm nut soup, or Abenkwan as it’s called in Ghana, is made from the extract of palm nuts. These nuts are harvested from the oil palm tree, and their rich, buttery texture gives the soup its distinctive flavour. The soup is typically made with a variety of meats or fish, including beef, goat, dried fish, or smoked mackerel, creating a dish that is both hearty and flavourful.
In addition to its great taste, palm nut soup is packed with nutrients. Palm nuts are rich in vitamins A and E, as well as healthy fats that are essential for maintaining good health. The soup itself is loaded with protein, especially when made with meat or fish, making it a balanced meal that provides both energy and nourishment.
When paired with fufu, palm nut soup becomes even more satisfying. The soft, starchy texture of fufu complements the bold flavours of the soup, making it the perfect dish for family gatherings, special occasions, or simply a comforting meal at home.
The Benefits of Palm Nut Soup and Fufu
Palm nut soup and fufu are not only delicious, but they are also highly nutritious. Here are some of the key benefits of enjoying this traditional meal:
- Rich in Nutrients: Palm nuts are a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamins A and E, which are important for maintaining healthy skin and eyes. The soup also provides a good source of protein when made with meats like beef, goat, or fish.
- Energy-Boosting: Fufu, made from cassava, yams, or plantains, is high in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of energy. This makes the combination of fufu and palm nut soup a filling and satisfying meal.
- Heart-Healthy Fats: Palm oil, extracted from the palm nuts, contains heart-healthy fats that can help lower cholesterol and support cardiovascular health when consumed in moderation.
- Culturally Rich: Beyond its health benefits, palm nut soup and fufu are deeply rooted in West African culture. Preparing and sharing this meal is a way to connect with the traditions of Ghana and the broader African continent.

Fufu: The Perfect Companion to Palm Nut Soup
No meal of palm nut soup would be complete without a side of fufu. Fufu is a starchy dough-like side dish made from cassava, yams, or plantains. It’s traditionally prepared by boiling and then pounding the starchy vegetables into a smooth, elastic consistency. In this eBook, you’ll learn how to prepare different types of fufu, including cassava fufu, plantain fufu, and even rice fufu for those looking for a gluten-free option.
Fufu is the perfect complement to palm nut soup because its soft, smooth texture allows you to scoop up the rich, flavourful broth. It balances the bold flavours of the soup and provides a satisfying contrast to the richness of the meat or fish.
