Each month, we feature a different Sanctuary Kitchen chef, a traditional soup, salad and grain of the country of origin, and their culinary and cultural stories. February’s comforting meal will consist of Ghanaian Ground Nut Soup with chicken and peanuts by chef Rahina. Rahina immigrated from Wa, Ghana in her late 20’s. She joined Sanctuary Kitchen because of her love for cooking. “I think cooking together with other people is a fun way to learn about immigrants in the community and understand their cultures. I am also excited to share my culture and teach something I am good at and proud of.”
