DROP-IN DINNER: West African BBQ by Kafui Nadia Klussey

May 10, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

West Africa (Togo-Ghana-Nigeria-Senegal) is known for its tasty and well-seasoned food — a cuisine that I think is woefully under-represented in Toronto. For this Drop-In Dinner, Kafui Nadia Klussey brings some authentic West African flavours to The Dep, including her take on a classic BBQ street food — thin beef kebabs flavoured with a complex, spicy peanut-based rub/seasoning — known variously as suya, tchinchinga, or debi depending on the region.

Kafui Nadia Klussey hails from Togo in West Africa. Well known by her friends as a true food lover, she decided to leverage her Business Administration background to launch a new food business, Tchi-Tchin-Ga, featuring a line of all-natural seasonings inspired by the flavours of West Africa. The company works closely with women’s agricultural cooperatives in West Africa to produce her unique spice blends, which are packaged here in Toronto.
