Review: The Ghana Cookbook preferred by Ghanaians - 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.
Review: Highly Recommend! - I love this cookbook because it is has so many recipes and the directions are very clear. I am a white American, married to a Ghanaian. I have found that it is not always easy to find recipes online, so I try to learn how to cook meals any time my mother-in-law comes to visit. This cookbook, along with Fran Osseo-Asare's blog has made it possible for me to try so many more Ghanaian foods, and I'm sure my husband appreciates it too :)

The cookbook is fine, but I was hoping for photos. I would recommend getting Zoe's Kitchen instead.
