Chef Gabi Odebode, born and raised in Koforidua, Ghana, discovered her passion for food at an early age. She began her education in Ghana before immigrating to the United States at the age of 9. Driven by a deep belief in inclusivity and representation, Chef Gabi founded Afromeals to bring West African cuisine into the mainstream food scene. Recognizing the lack of representation of African, particularly West African, dishes in the culinary world, she made it her mission to introduce and share these vibrant flavors beyond her community. Through various cooking classes across Ohio, Chef Gabi educates and inspires others to experience the richness and diversity of African cuisine.
