Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The main goal for the project is to develop recipes and create a recipe book showcasing the versatile and universal use of KanKan Spice to enhance any meals. This will involve several different steps for the learners, including:


- Researching and experimenting with different recipes using KanKan Spice for grilling and cooking.


- Documenting the recipes and their cooking instructions.


- Organizing the recipes into a cohesive recipe book format.


- Designing the layout and visuals of the recipe book to showcase the versatility of KanKan Spice.


- Collaborating with the company to ensure the recipes align with their brand and product vision.


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

By the end of the project, learners should complete the following tasks:


- A collection of diverse and innovative recipes using KanKan Spice.


- A well-organized and visually appealing recipe book that highlights the universal use of KanKan Spice.


- Collaboration with the company to ensure the recipes and book align with their brand and product vision.



Final deliverables:


- A professionally designed recipe book in digital and/or print format.


- A detailed report outlining the recipe development process and the rationale behind the chosen recipes.


- Presentation of the recipe book and research findings to the company.


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Many recipes are done every day around me with blends. I can assist in developing some as well. On my website, some recipes were created with the spice and I have may suggestions also.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

In order to complete this project, learners can self-teach, but it is beneficial to be familiar with:


- Culinary skills and recipe development.


- Graphic design and layout for recipe books.


- Collaboration and communication with stakeholders.


- Creativity and innovation in recipe creation.



Nice to haves for learners include:


- Knowledge of African cuisine and flavors.


- Experience in food product development and branding.



Learners will be expected to research and learn more about the above as the project progresses.

About the company

Hello buyers, my name is Christiane Youmbi, and I am the founder of Kankan Ltd.
Today, I am delighted to introduce you to KanKan Spice. It is a secret blend of the world-famous Penja peppercorn and spices from the African rainforest, inspired by my grandma’s recipe in Cameroon.
When I created it in 2020, my goal was to encapsulate Africa in a bottle. While supermarkets offer spice blends from all over the world, there's a noticeable absence of African flavors.
Why should you care? Simply because there is a growing population of African immigrants. Did you know that each year over 300,000 immigrants from Africa decide to call Canada home? In particular, nearly 80,000 people from West and Central Africa settle down in the Greater Toronto Area.
Moving to a new country is not an easy experience. You have to adjust to a new culture, and one of the challenges newcomers face is homesickness. One way to prevent that is to eat food from your country of origin. Unfortunately, there are not many African restaurants around, or they are too expensive.
The solution? Cooking at home!!! But what happens if you are not a good cook or lack time? With KanKan Spices, all you have to do is sprinkle a little bit of Africa on fish, meat, or veggies to feel like you are back home, just like when your mother was cooking for you.
KanKan Spices are available in mild and medium-hot levels, and they come in various packaging options: jars of 5.3 oz, packages of 3 jars, or bags of any size you may need.
I am a trained Food Technology engineer with more than 10 years of experience in the food industry as a quality control manager for large corporations in Germany and Canada.
I pride myself on supplying a product that is traceable and consistent in quality Thank you so much for your attention.
