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 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?
The news is already fast spreading on social media like a quick spreading heat rash....Bread & Wine the Italian restaurant is shutting down. Why you ask? Read on..
Just this evening whilst I was listening to Mutombo share his journey of his photography career, i got a Telegram message with a screenshot from the Facebook account of Bread & Wine.
There was no way I was going to use frozen fish for this dinner. Fresh fish all the way. If ever you are looking to buy fresh fish from the seaside on a Sunday, then you can try out this area behind the Osu Castle also called ‘Tsei Ashi’ (this means under the trees). The local fishermen can be found there from 4pm displaying their catch on wooden pallets. That gutter there tho. I keep wondering why we don’t have more organized markets in this country. Like, if I want to go to the fish market there isn’t any, I have to go to a normal market and hunt down the fish sellers.
