gladys opoku

Gladys Opoku was born in Ghana where she learned to cook from her grandma and aunties. “Since I came out of my mom’s belly, I was cooking,” Gladys reflects. As a little girl, when her mom was done cooking, Gladys would run off with an empty tomato can, pick vegetables from the garden, start a little fire and cook her own dishes in the can. By age nine she was cooking meals for her large extended family. 


In 2006, Gladys and her business partner Peggy N. Benekin created YEN Kitchen, an Atlanta-based catering company serving Ghanaian and Geechee Gullah cuisines.Understanding that generational health problems, like diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. could be healed and/or reversed through conscious cooking and choosing to eat better, Gladys and Peggy offer healthier options to the food they each grew to love since childhood.
