''Growing up, nobody sat me down to teach me how to cook but it’s about fanning the fire, fetching water, grinding pepper, and as you do those things you’re watching and learning,'' she recalled.

Like most children growing up in the 80s, she had to be in the kitchen, but her auntie did most of the cooking in their home.

''She taught us how to cook. So by the time I was 10 years old, I was already cooking.''

Sweet Adjeley eventually mastered her culinary skill and has carved out a career in the field.
