The Art of Fufu is America’s home base for the rich traditions of West African cuisine, especially its namesake, fufu. Headed by chef Kavachi Ukegbu, this Houston-based organization aims to educate America and the world about this delectable dish through books, events, cultural exchanges, recipe-sharing, cooking demonstrations, and more.
The Art of Fufu is a passion project that was birthed to create more dialogues around West African food. We truly believe that a West African staple like fufu deserves recognition on a global scale. Fufu isn’t just another meal. It represents a rich culture that evokes feelings of simple pleasures passed on from generation to generation.

Uniting nations through The Art of Fufu is a dream come true for us. It is both exhilarating and inspiring that we get to strengthen the multicultural awareness of one of West Africa’s food royalties. We are absolutely breaking glass ceilings and proving to the world that fufu shares our history beyond the plate.

We want to represent the smile on your face when fufu brings you satisfaction.
We want to create an environment that embraces food diversity.
We want to push the narrative that West African food deserves to be on every table.

The Art of Fufu is an expression, a worthy craving, and an experience that we are excited for you to be a part of.
What are you waiting for? Come, have some fufu with us!
