Rachel Adjei
Founder and Executive Chef, The Abibiman Project, Toronto
Rachel Adjei has spent her career developing a range of culinary skills – from decorating pastries to butchery and wood-fire grilling. Since graduating from George Brown College, Adjei has worked at many culinary establishments, including Café Lulu Hazard, Momofuku, Neruda Restaurant, The Sweet Escape Patisserie and The Tempered Room. Currently, Adjei is working at Butchers of Distinction in Toronto, but she is also reaching new heights with the personal creation of The Abibiman Project, a non-profit African culinary-education initiative. “Her success with The Abibiman Project comes as no surprise to her circle of friends,” says chef Jillian Calata. “Rachel is the kind of person that pushes the boundaries and will make things happen when she puts her heart into it.”
