The Ghana Cookbook

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I'm half Ghanaian through my mother, and have recently started taking more of an interest in cooking Ghanaian food. This book has very easy to follow instructions, gives alternatives of where to source ingredients. I also loved the stories of the two ladies, one of whom my mother says she has met. My mother also loves this book, and she is not a person who is easily pleased. In fact, whenever she is around, I don't even have a look in with this book, as she keeps it to herself.

For those interested in cooking food from Ghana, this is an excellent book. The recipes are very straightforward and the end results very tasty. Having the African terms for ingredients is very helpful when shopping for them as well.

I bought this for a friend’s birthday. She lived it! I did take a peek at some of the recipes and it has me favourites. My mother used to make so many of these while I was growing up, some I have forgotten, and this book reminded me of them. I may be buying this for myself soon.

This is a fantastic and very practical recipe book for Ghanaian food. I bought it for a friend who was interested in African food but am thinking of buying one for myself even though I know and cook the food already.

Brought it for a present they was very happy yet haven't made any of the recipes yet! Nice size book

Quick delivery. Should be on the shelf of anyone interested in cooking or learning about Ghanaian authentic dishes.

It has good recipes. Very authetic

Perfect for what I needed ! Really brings back memories from my trip to Ghana. Peanut soup is incredible.

We live in a region with quite a few private schools and unfortunately, due to the distance away from home they traveled to study in America, a lot of them can't go home for winter & spring break and thus need host families. We host kids from all over the world because of this and last year hosted a Ghanaian. She knew little about America and I knew little about Africa so to break the ice I asked her: "Besides your family, what do you miss the most about Ghana?" and she said "Jollof Rice." This was a good answer because I'm a foodie. So I got online and started the search for cookbooks that had Jollof Rice recipes, found this one, ordered it and I got to cooking as soon as it arrived and she read it thoroughly cover to cover like a novel. I immediately found out that Jollof Rice is not easy to make and takes a lot more time to cook than I had imagined it would take, but I did it and she tasted it and I waited, and waited, and finally asked "How'd I do?" she said "B+", I said "Why not an A?" and she said "Not hot enough." Not hot enough... my lips were literally scorched from taste testing this stuff. So I went to the fridge, grabbed the bottle of habanero sauce, added it and her grin grew ear to ear, and later my wife called me at work to tell me she had just had two more heaping plates full of rice. So that was the day I learned Ghanaians love spicy hot food and this cookbook was a huge help in creating a friendship that will last a lifetime, she's like a daughter to me now. So, if you want to cook authentic Ghanaian food- a. get this cookbook and b. make sure you have plenty of milk and/or ice cream in the house. You'll need it.

The item is very informative for cooking. I am very pleased to read it. Good seller!

Da sind mehr als genügend Gerichte enthalten dennoch keine Bilder der Gerichte was ich ein wenig schade finde, da ich als ursprüngliche ghanarin auch nicht alle Gerichte beim Namen kenne. Da waren Bilder einfach ein wenig hilfreich. Sonst ein richtig gute Zusammenfassung aller Gerichte Ghanas.
