Ghanaians react to Empress Gifty's UCook setup

On Monday, June 24, 2024, Empress Gifty performed at the launch of the UCook cooking show inside the UTV studio.

The video of the kitchen setup received a mixed reaction online. While many followers appreciate her efforts and charisma, some social media users have expressed concerns regarding the kitchen setup, suggesting it lacked the aesthetic appeal expected for a culinary program.

Additionally, a few viewers pointed out that commentary from a prominent politician's spouse during the show detracted from the overall experience, leading to a perception of dullness in certain segments.

Despite the critiques, Empress Gifty remained a hot topic in the entertainment sphere, continuously striving to bring the rich flavours of Ghanaian cuisine to the forefront.
