On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Selassie Atadika, Chef and Founder of Midunu, Midunu Chocolates, and Midunu Institute based in Ghana, Africa. After over a decade spent engaged in humanitarian work with the United Nations and years of self-teaching in the culinary arts, Selassie completed course work at the Culinary Institute of America. She is a founding member of Trio Toque, the first nomadic restaurant in Dakar, Senegal. Selassie brought her innovative approach to African cuisine back home in 2014. Her food enterprise, Midunu, is a nomadic and private dining enterprise in Accra which embodies ‘New African Cuisine,' which has attracted attention with diners from five continents. A favored part of the Midunu dining experience is its final course- their delectable handcrafted chocolate truffles. **We have a special discount for Selassie's Midunu Chocolates for our listeners: 10% off your first purchase with the code INDUSTRY10 at us.midunuchocolates.com.
