I aim to not only make my desserts beautiful, but delicious as well. Most importantly, always baked de todo corazón (from the heart).
Hi there, Janet here. I am the Master Chef and owner of Akwaaba Eats. I love cooking, and anyone who has tasted any of my dishes has relished every bite and wanted more. In November 2019, the idea came to mind to invite the world to enjoy my delicious gourmet dishes. This concept birthed Akwaaba Eats and we have never looked back. "Akwaaba" in the Ghanaian Akan language means "Welcome". At Akwaaba Eats, we aim to make our patrons feel welcome and relaxed while talking to us, placing an order or enjoying our delicious meals. It is our pleasure to bring authentic Ghanaian cuisine with a touch of grandma’s secret spices to the Delaware public. The sizzling aroma of great Ghanaian dishes on our food truck will draw the masses to enjoy mouthfuls of bursting flavors.

A caterer for over 10 years, Courtney catered her first wedding in 2014. After taking a few years off with her children, she has recently jumped back in with Crave. Her love for cooking started early. Never realizing kneeling in kitchen chairs, watching her mom and mom-mom cook, it was actually her learning & studying the ropes. Her mom still tells the story about how she fried my first batch of chicken wings at 12. Unsupervised and I had no permission 🤣 Courtney just knew she was sick of lunchmeat sandwiches and hotdogs and I wanted some dang chicken. Came out perfect too and the house did not burn down, the rest is history!
