The She Kicks Locker Room: The Menu With Freda Ayisi

Charlton Athletic’s Freda Ayisi has been causing a stir with her Freda Ayisi Football Challenges, serving up skills alongside the Brazil men’s legends Cafu and Roberto Carlos, so the magazine turned the conversation from football to food. The ex-Arsenal and Birmingham City attacker is not a fussy eater and does not eat badly enough to miss anything, so nothing is off limits in moderation. Her Ghanaian heritage supplies the recommendations: omo tuo, a rice dish, with okra and meat, and peanut soup. A treat meal right now would be lamb chops, rice and prawn tempura. Pre-match is anything not too heavy, half-time is sweets and a gel, and for teammates she cooks rice and stew with chicken.
