“Fresh fufu is a West African staple. You may have seen the instant version you can buy in shops in boxes, but these products can have a lot of other unnecessary ingredients added so we’re going to make it fresh the traditional way. Go online and watch some videos of West African chefs stirring fufu to see how intensely and vigorously you stir it to get a good consistency. Spoiler alert – you give it your full effort!”
