Ghana's Joy Prime Unites 150 Families for Mother's Day

Over 150 mothers walked into La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on Mother's Day 2026 and left with full hearts, gift hampers, and memories their families won't forget. Joy Prime's "Cook With Mum – Celebrity Edition" transformed a simple cooking show into a celebration of family bonds that connected generations through Ghana's beloved traditional foods.

Ghanaian celebrities including Akuapem Polo, Twin Diaries, Victoria Lebene, and MJ the Comedian teamed up with their mothers to prepare authentic dishes for a live audience. Akuapem Polo made kokonte with groundnut soup while Victoria Lebene impressed guests with banku and okro stew, showcasing the recipes passed down through their families.

The cooking competition became secondary to the real magic happening between the stoves. Mothers and their children shared childhood stories that had the audience laughing and wiping away happy tears in equal measure.

A dancing competition got three generations moving together, proving that joy needs no translation. Singer Mima Africa kept the energy high with live performances that had grandmothers and grandchildren dancing side by side.

Every celebrity team earned a perfect 10 out of 10 from judge Fiifi Koomson, General Manager of Joy Brands. The scores reflected something deeper than culinary skill: each dish carried the love and tradition that mothers pour into feeding their families.

Sunny's Take

The oldest mother at the event was 88 years old. She represents decades of recipes, wisdom, and unconditional love that events like this honor in the most beautiful way possible. When celebrities cook alongside their mothers on television, they send a powerful message: honoring your mom never goes out of style.

The event didn't just celebrate motherhood in theory. Every mother walked away with gifts and hampers, tangible tokens of appreciation for the countless meals they've prepared and sacrifices they've made without expecting anything in return.

Hosts KMJ and Michelle Agyekum created an atmosphere where vulnerability and laughter flowed as freely as the palm oil in the cooking pots. The event proved that the dinner table remains one of the most powerful places for families to connect, even in our digital age.

Joy Prime plans to make this an annual tradition, ensuring that Mother's Day 2027 will bring even more families together over steaming plates of love.
