What are puff puffs?

Puff puff are tasty doughnut-like balls originating in West Africa. Popular in Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana, they can be eaten as a savoury side dish, indulgent dessert or even just a tempting snack. Puff puffs are perfect for sharing (or not sharing..) and are going to be the dish that everyone will talk about at your next gathering.

Get the tips and know how on making puff puffs with Ngwafu, a recipe passed down through her family and one thing you can pass onto your loved ones. All the ingredients and equipment is provided, including aprons so just come along for a really fun, interactive and delicious evening.
