#foodandlit 2024 January | Ghana
@Catsandbooks @Texreader
Just to let my contribution for the Foodandlit I found this post with an impressively selection of cookbooks with Ghanaian recipes and wrote by great chefs,

pickI loved reading through this book and ended up making two recipes: mango & pineapple salad and veggie jollof rice. I‘m a big fan! (Full disclosure I‘m somehow out of paprika so the spice mixture probably isn‘t right.) I made enough for lunch the rest of the week so it‘s a relief that it‘s tasty! #FoodAndLit #Ghana
Despite the fact that I have a Midwestern palate and can barely tolerate jalapeno, I did find some #Ghana recipes I could enjoy.
Tatale (plantain pancakes), Three Bean Salad, Cocoyam and Sweet Potato Curry, Coconut Rice, Honey and Plantain Ginger Cake, and Spiced Cashews.

I‘m determined to do a better job of cooking from our #FoodAndLit countries this year!
pickHer food descriptions alone are worth picking up a copy. She does a great job of describing the places and regions in Ghana that she visits and the playlists are wonderful as well. Discovered a lot of new to me artists to enjoy. Like that she included a link for sourcing some of the ingredients also. I also like the chocolate avocado mousse…been eating a plain version so this was a nice variation to enjoy.
Tickled beyond measure! Surprise bookmail from a friend in the blogosphere who - rightly - thought I might like such a book!💞#cookbooks #readghanaian #yum
For #readblackwomen I‘ve decided to try and include my cookbook collection in my challenge. My cookbook collection is so white and I‘d like to change this up a bit. It‘s even worse when you look at the vegan cookbooks on offer. This podcast http://www.racistsandwich.com covers race in food culture really well and gives you lots to think about. I‘ll share any great recipes if I remember to take photos before I eat them.
#diversespines books and food. I haven't cooked from this yet but the author is an amazing woman! She does activism and is very involved with her community in the uk.
There's a recipe in here using tinned corned beef I keep looking at to try alongside others obviously.
There's so many cookbooks and food memoirs by woc I wanted to use for this prompt such as Edna Lewis, madhur jaffrey and yet again maya Angelou.
