Zoe Adjonyoh started her business, Zoe's Ghana Kitchen, after spending time in her grandmother's kitchen in Ghana. Adjonyoh's latest venture is a restaurant in a shipping container community project Pop Brixton, in South London, where she serves this goat curry.

Fried yam balls are also on the menu at Zoe's Ghana Kitchen. Adjonyoh puts her own spin on traditional Ghanian recipes, inspired by the famous Kaneshi street market in Accra.

Bone in chicken light soup, served with fufu is a dish that shows off Adjonyoh's Ghanian roots. Fufu is a dough-like dish made with cassava that many Ghanian's consider a staple.

Adjonyoh, 38, started off selling groundnut soup from a makeshift stall selling out of her studio flat at the Hackney Wicked Festival almost five years ago. Since then she has taken her food to street food markets and pop-ups across London and Berlin.

These griddled lamb cutlets, cooked by Adjonyoh, are served with a spicy groundnut sauce. She makes her groundnut stew with peanut butter, goat, herring, salmon, crabs, onion, tomatoes, garlic and hot peppers.

24-year-old Kaluhi Adagala is a food blogger based in Nairobi, Kenya. Her dishes have a heavy Kenyan influence, she takes traditional recipes and makes them her own, then shares them on her blog Kaluhi's Kitchen.

Adagala's sweet and sour pork with pineapple salsa is made with pork marinated in passion fruit, and a salsa made from pineapples, cayenne pepper, onions and coriander.

With over 34,000 followers across her social media accounts, Adagala has been able to secure brand partnerships with businesses such as the Nairobi Food Market, where she used her online platforms to market the event. Her stunning photography, such as this image of her mango mint salad, is one of the reasons she has over 26,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing.

"Kenyan cuisine is an amalgamation of ethnic, Indian and Arabic cuisine which have been slightly modified over centuries to suit our needs," says Adagala, who made this meatball tikka masala with mince, tumeric, cumin, peppers and breadcrumbs.
