    Wakye is a very bad food, especialy when eaten with beef, chicken, eggs and/or fish. No wonder this chef sent Queen Elisabeth and the husby to their early grave.

    ......slave master...

  • Yaa 2 years ago

    Why are you speaking and writing slave master's language.

  • Jonas 2 years ago

    The story here is not about slave master or any inferiority stuff. It's about how a poor and underprivileged young boy rose all the way in life to be who he is today. He was recognised by his good works and awarded by the Que ...

    I've read the comments and realised most have veered off the main issue and rather concentrating on the cooking for the Queen. They are even accusing the guy of being happy for having ever cooked for a slave master. Yes of co ...

    Well done Elijah. But you are not the first ghanaian to have cooked for the queen; may be you are the first to have cooked wàakye. Dr Tony Aidoo is the first ghanaian to cook for the queen.
