Chef Yohanis

Chef Yohanis was raised in Ethiopia and later traveled to California, USA, and Lyon, France, to study cooking. After returning to Addis several years ago, he launched into numerous ventures, including serving as the head chef of local restaurant Antica and hosting a popular television show on the EBS network. Yohanis is passionate about finding new ways to use traditional Ethiopian ingredients, such as making Parisian-style desserts from teff, the grain that is used to make the highland staple injera.
