Introduction
In Ghana, funerals and weddings are more than just gatherings—they are grand events where food plays a central role. Cooking for these occasions requires careful planning, large quantities of ingredients, and the right mix of proteins to satisfy hundreds of guests.
Whether you’re preparing a funeral repast, a wedding buffet, or a traditional post-event meal, choosing the right ingredients will make a big difference in both taste and efficiency. You want proteins that are flavorful, affordable, and easy to cook in bulk.
