Review by Booklist Review

Writer, chef, and founder of online spice shop Zoe's Ghana Kitchen, Adjonyoh puts the power of food preparation, ingredients, and profit back into the hands of the people as she works to decolonize the spice trade in Africa and supports Black-owned businesses. African cuisine is an often unexplored culinary experience within foodie culture. Now, with chefs like Adjonyoh gaining prominence, African cuisine is getting the spotlight it deserves. Accented by guides to ingredients and soundtracks to cook and eat to, Adjonyoh's recipes are as diverse as Ghana itself. Including short intros, tips, and variations, recipes are generally short and easy to explore: kontomire froe ground beef and spinach stew, jollof spiced chicken skewers, nkatse cake peanut brittle. Of both Ghanaian and Irish descent, Adjonyoh creates fusion dishes like Ghanaian-Irish scotch eggs and Ghanaian-Irish stew. She even offers drinks, like guinea pepper and ginger tea, Milo milkshake, and hot chocolate. Showcasing the variety, creativity, and flexibility that Ghanaian cuisine has to offer food culture worldwide, Adjonyoh is sure to keep readers in the kitchen and at the table.
