This dish is a vivid memory of the first time I had couscous back in Ghana with some Ivorian friends. I did my best to cook this meal exactly the way my Ivorian friends did and I am very happy it worked and tasted almost the same. Hope everyone who tries this enjoys it as much as I did.
Somewhere in Nyaniba Estates, close to the now defunct Christiansborg Hotel, hides a burger restaurant for people of hearty hearts and big appetites. Popularly known for serving expansive burgers, Burger & Relish have been in Ghana for awhile and they look set on staying awhile for the long haul.
Doing things together as a couple to build intimacy can come in different forms. It's not just going out to eat or hangout at pubs and joints, but understanding each other's passion and interests. Imagine learning how to play video games with your partner whilst he also learns how to create flatlay product photos which you love to do? Incredible time for knowing more about each other.
I recently invited my friend Emelda Amoah to whom I became acquainted with during the WhatAWoman workshop sessions last year to share how toprepare Tuo Zaafi. Don’t be fooled by her name, she’s a Northerner from the Frafra part of Northern Ghana. When she told me TZ is a common meal eaten in her home I just had to invite her to show how it’s done.
Here’s an inside look at how beans is sold atthe Beans Joint and at most beans joints in the city. The procedure is basically the same but the taste is always different from place to place. I recorded the ambient noise and conversation exchanges between buyer and seller so you get an appreciation of how streetfood is bought in Ghana.

Monday mornings can be a total rush. I know that feeling well. My days of having to work at a 9-6 most often saw mornings being the 'empty-stomach' mornings. My stomach only got filled after 9am with a quick cup of tea and tea-bread- croissants- if I was lucky enough to get the last piece.
I whipped up a Cashew Green salad in a matter of 20 minutes which went brilliantly went with slices of toasted brown bread. The magic was actually in the vinaigrette I used. It is super easy and healthier to make your own vinaigrette. I am having trust issues with some imported products into this country.

There are various ways to fortify a simple green salad for added nutrients. My go-to extra-nutrients are to add nuts, some healthy meats or fruits to it. Works every time.
Freshly ground spices is just too fantastically flavorsome! Bottled spices has NOTHING on homemade ground spices! Nothing kwraa!
Best way to grind up spices is to use a dry mill machine. We got a Kenwood food processor sometime ago which had an additional two-blade dry grinder mill. It's great for grinding all kinds of spices, herbs and nuts.
I have realized how little we use some local spices in our cooking. We are gradually forgetting the traditional spices and choosing cubed seasoning which many at times are packed with MSG and other preservatives which aren’t kind to our health.
I went exploring in a spice market which is deep within the 31st December Women’s Market in Mokola Market to discover what other traditional spices we have aside ginger and pepper. What are their English names? What health benefits can we get from using these spices in our cooking? Do they have medicinal properties?
