Who we are
Founded by Akua Boatemaa Ansong in 2018, BABY CHEF AFRICA is a culinary brand for children, focused on allowing kids to explore and enhance their creativity in the culinary world.
Research shows that children enjoy helping in the kitchen at a certain age. However, due to consistent rejection by parents, some lose interest and eventually start seeing cooking as a chore. Some studies have shown that exposing children to the art of cooking at an early age influences their healthy eating habits. We aim to change the perception that culinary art is not a viable profession in Ghanaian and African homes.
We are here to make kids do very cool things.
The Producers
Red Productions is a creative company that aims to curate fun, educative, and engaging activities for children. We have Baby Chef Africa, Kids on the Runway (Kids Fashion Show) and Kidz are Amazing (Talk Show)
Baby Chef Cooking Show
This platform is designed for kids who have a passion for cooking. These little chefs are already skilled and eager to showcase their talents to the world. The kids get to be cool while improving their diet, critical thinking skills, teamwork, self-esteem, and creativity. The age for this project is 7 years to 12 years. It’s cool to see kids in this age range confidently cooking in the kitchen by themselves. Watch on YouTube
Baby Chef Relish
This platform is designed for children with little or no culinary knowledge but who want to learn and become perfect. It’s a cooking class where they get trained. They learn about different dishes, healthy eating, and personal & food hygiene.
Baby Chef Cookout
The children who want to enter the competition and do not have permission from their wards are not left out. We understand some parents don’t like public competitions, so we curated smaller cooking competitions for children in their various schools and communities.
Baby Chef Starter Pack
This project provides children who are not of age to cook. Also, children will love to cook at home every day. We prepare a recipe book and some kid-friendly culinary items to assist them in their culinary journey.
“Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It’s about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.”

I have always had a passion for kids and kid activities, starting Baby Chef opened me up to so many possibilities. My goal is to provide a safe and friendly environment for children who love culinary arts to explore and get creative. We aim to change the narrative of culinary art, to ensure our Ghanaian and African Parents accept it as a respectable profession.
