This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with much of African history, Ghanaian recipes were not recorded in writing but were passed down from mother to daughter in the oral tradition. This rich and diverse cuisine thus remained largely unknown in the wider world for many years. Fortunately for adventurous cooks everywhere, this deficiency is now being addressed by experts like Dinah Naa Ameley Ayensu who has, in this book, gathered together a cornucopia of favourite traditional recipes for everyone to enjoy. Ghanaian cooking is relatively simple but the results are always delicious and rewarding. Although there are regional variations, main dishes are mostly organised around a starch staple food – such as corn, cassava, plantain, cocoyam or sweet potatoes – served with a soup or a stew or a spicy sauce to provide the protein needed for a balanced meal. With increasing globalisation, rice has also become a popular staple resulting in the creation of many tasty and nutritious dishes. Herbs and spices are used carefully, with bay leaf, garlic and ginger being especially favoured. In this book you will find something to suit every palate, including rich and nourishing soups such as Chicken Peanut Butter Soup, exclusively Ghanaian and everyone's favourite for Sunday meals. You will also want to try Forowee, the versatile vegetable gravy that will turn any meat or fish dish into an instant gourmet treat. You will learn how to cook the hot and spicy Beef Kyinkyinga kebabs sold on street corners as well as Kelewele, the fried ripe plantains which you will also find on street vendors' trays. Expand your culinary horizons and enjoy this unique cuisine!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over a century, plant specialists worldwide have sought to transform healing plants in African countries into pharmaceuticals. And for equally as long, conflicts over these medicinal plants have endured, from stolen recipes and toxic tonics to unfulfilled promises of laboratory equipment and usurped personal patents. In Bitter Roots, Abena Dove Osseo-Asare draws on publicly available records and extensive interviews with scientists and healers in Ghana, Madagascar, and South Africa to interpret how African scientists and healers, rural communities, and drug companies—including Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Unilever—have sought since the 1880s to develop drugs from Africa’s medicinal plants. Osseo-Asare recalls the efforts to transform six plants into pharmaceuticals: rosy periwinkle, Asiatic pennywort, grains of paradise, Strophanthus, Cryptolepis, and Hoodia. Through the stories of each plant, she shows that herbal medicine and pharmaceutical chemistry have simultaneous and overlapping histories that cross geographic boundaries. At the same time, Osseo-Asare sheds new light on how various interests have tried to manage the rights to these healing plants and probes the challenges associated with assigning ownership to plants and their biochemical components. A fascinating examination of the history of medicine in colonial and postcolonial Africa, Bitter Roots will be indispensable for scholars of Africa; historians interested in medicine, biochemistry, and society; and policy makers concerned with drug access and patent rights.
