The Ghana Cookbook

Gourmand Cookbook Award Winner -
Best African Cuisine Book 2016!


The Akan proverb “The good soup comes from the good earth” elegantly sums up Ghana's tradition of cooking with seasonal, local ingredients. With an emphasis on locally caught fish and seafood, vegetables, fruits, and legumes, Ghana’s cuisine is vibrant, healthful, and eminently appealing. Limited access to wheat and dairy allows for a variety of gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options using starches such as plantains, cassava, taro, sweet potatoes and millet, and creamy nut-based soups and sauces.

In over 140 recipes, the authors highlight the flavor principles, seasoning techniques, and basic stocks, with later chapters dedicated to snacks, soups and stews, protein entrees, beverages, baked goods, and much more.

Latin Twist:
Traditional & Modern Cocktails

The award-winning food bloggers from Muy Bueno and Sweet Life have teamed up to create this exciting collection of Latin cocktails!

Yvette and Vianney are known for their Mexican and Latin-fusion recipes made with easy-to-find ingredients. Their cocktails--featuring fresh-squeezed juices and homemade mixers--have been so popular that they decided to devote a whole book to them! Latin Twist is the first book to celebrate the signature cocktails of 18 Latin American countries and Spain in one volume. It delves into the history of each country's liquors, followed by traditional cocktails and original recipes. Try a luscious Passion Fruit Caipirinha from Brazil, Chile's fruity Borgoña, or Argentina's national drink, the deceptively simple Fernet con Cola.
Whether you're having a backyard fiesta or just entertaining a few friends, there is a drink in this book for every occasion. Clear instructions and gorgeous color photos make it easy to mix up a glass or pitcher of crowd-pleasing cocktails.

Latin Twist features:

  • 97 traditional and original cocktail recipes from 20 countries
  • Brief historical facts of the alcohols used in each country
  • Latin American illustrated map of cocktails
  • Gorgeous color photography throughout
