Meet
Mawuli Dzansi

Founder and Executive Chef

Rooted deeply in his Ghanaian heritage, his passion for food grew as he explored flavors, techniques, and ingredients while living with his Aunt in Accra. 

Dzansi’s expertise is largely self-taught, honed through years of dedication and an unrelenting curiosity about food. His experiences as an Executive Chef and his time at a Michelin-starred Kitchen in Amsterdam have shaped his innovative approach to showcasing the vibrancy of African ingredients.

He has always been considered unconventional, having led impactful projects like Dawadawa at Impact Hub Accra and The Kitchen By Ghana Food Movement. He currently works as a private chef and consultant to some of Africa’s bold thinkers and organizations.

Prekesse is the culmination of his journey—a bespoke dining concept that celebrates Ghana’s rich culinary heritage while embracing sustainability and modernity.

With Prekesse, Dzansi introduces diners to a fresh take on African cuisine, weaving together tradition, innovation, and the stories of local ingredients through seasonal menus and unique nomadic dining experiences.
