Book Synopsis Food and Identity in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Ghana by : Brandi Simpson Miller
Download or read book Food and Identity in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Ghana written by Brandi Simpson Miller and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how cooking, eating, and identity are connected to the local micro-climates in each of Ghana’s major eco-culinary zones. The work is based on several years of researching Ghanaian culinary history and cuisine, including field work, archival research, and interdisciplinary investigation. The political economy of Ghana is used as an analytical framework with which to investigate the following questions: How are traditional food production structures in Ghana coping with global capitalist production, distribution, and consumption? How do land, climate, and weather structure or provide the foundation for food consumption and how does that affect the separate traditional and capitalist production sectors? Despite the post WWII food fight that launched Ghana’s bid for independence from the British empire, Ghana’s story demonstrates the centrality of local foods and cooking to its national character. The cultural weight of regional traditional foods, their power to satisfy, and the overall collective social emphasis on the ‘proper’ meal, have persisted in Ghana, irrespective of centuries of trade with Europeans. This book will be of interest to scholars in food studies, comparative studies, and African studies, and is sure to capture the interest of students in new ways.
Book Synopsis Authentic African Cuisine from Ghana by : David Otoo
Download or read book Authentic African Cuisine from Ghana written by David Otoo and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-06 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 20th Anniversary Celebration Edition (1997 - 2017) Authentic African Cuisine from Ghana is an absolutely brilliant and a must have book. The 1st edition of the book was a great success and it's been out of print for over 10 years, which has created an overwhelming demand for the revised edition. The second edition has easier to read and easy to follow cooking instructions, and updated with professional quality images of some favourite Ghanaian dishes. The book begins with a brief introduction into the history, traditions and culture of Ghana and her people. Ghanaians are fun-loving, cheerful people who are proud of their country and its numerous languages (over 20 major ones and many more dialects), traditions, and standing. The book then goes into the various traditional soups such as the famous groundnut or peanut soup, palm soup. There are stews like kontomereh (spinach) and egusi, okro or okra stew and rice dishes like jollof and kelewele (fried plantains) - delicious. There's also a section for deserts like bofloat. Towards the end of the book, there is a section which gives a list of many Ghanaian festivals and their respective dates of celebration. There is also the Adinkra symbols and the meanings of each symbols. In writing this book, the authors have endeavoured (as much as possible) to stick closely to ingredients and herbs used by Ghanaians in cooking their mouth - watering dishes. But, being conscious that this book will be read by non- Ghanaians and that food preservation will take place throughout the four corners of the globe, the authors have also included, where possible, substitute ingredients which are more readily available in American or European markets. It should be noted that because the African continent is so diverse in culture and traditions there is consequently a wide range of food and different methods and styles of cooking a similar food from one country to the next within Africa. Even within the same country, different ethnic groups will prepare the same dish differently. The term 'African food' is therefore a complete misnomer. Traditionally in Ghana, and indeed in the rest of Africa, girls learn to cook at an early age. A young adult will first go to the local market with the mother to watch how she selects the best of the fresh ingredients for a particular dish, then the child will help with little chores and take instructions from the mother in the kitchen while she cooks. By her mid-teens the child (usually a daughter, but not exclusively so) is a budding good cook herself. This is how mouth-watering Ghanaian foods are passed on from mother to daughter, from one generation to the next, intact and undiluted.

Book Synopsis Favourite Traditional Recipes of Ghana by : Dina Naa Ameley Ayensu
Download or read book Favourite Traditional Recipes of Ghana written by Dina Naa Ameley Ayensu and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. 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!
Book Synopsis Stirring the Pot by : James C. McCann
Download or read book Stirring the Pot written by James C. McCann and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-31 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa’s art of cooking is a key part of its history. All too often Africa is associated with famine, but in Stirring the Pot, James C. McCann describes how the ingredients, the practices, and the varied tastes of African cuisine comprise a body of historically gendered knowledge practiced and perfected in households across diverse human and ecological landscape. McCann reveals how tastes and culinary practices are integral to the understanding of history and more generally to the new literature on food as social history. Stirring the Pot offers a chronology of African cuisine beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing from Africa’s original edible endowments to its globalization. McCann traces cooks’ use of new crops, spices, and tastes, including New World imports like maize, hot peppers, cassava, potatoes, tomatoes, and peanuts, as well as plantain, sugarcane, spices, Asian rice, and other ingredients from the Indian Ocean world. He analyzes recipes, not as fixed ahistorical documents,but as lively and living records of historical change in women’s knowledge and farmers’ experiments. A final chapter describes in sensuous detail the direct connections of African cooking to New Orleans jambalaya, Cuban rice and beans, and the cooking of African Americans’ “soul food.” Stirring the Pot breaks new ground and makes clear the relationship between food and the culture, history, and national identity of Africans.

Book Synopsis Brief review of Ghana’s food system transformation pathways by : Asante, Felix A.
Download or read book Brief review of Ghana’s food system transformation pathways written by Asante, Felix A. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2024-03-25 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global estimates show over half a billion people go hungry (FAO, 2020) and close to 2 billion people are either obese or overweight with another 2 billion of the world’s population suffering from micronutrient deficiencies (Micha et al., 2020, Fresco et al., 2017). Inarguably, the world faces significant malnutrition problem (including micro- and macro-nutrient deficiencies, obesity, and diet related non-communicable diseases). This is evident in a recent analysis pointing out that effort in achieving the Global Nutrition Targets is likely to be missed. The observed malnutrition threat is accompanied by climate change, which is influencing food production and consumption trends, and thereby leading to undernutrition and affecting overall development. In addition, there are growing incomes, accelerated urbanization, and expanding middle classes which are also causing significant changes in consumer behaviour and nutritional choices, necessitating both public and private expenditures for better food market integration. As a result, there is a pressing need to examine our food systems to guarantee food and nutrition security and to advance sustainable development. It is likely that the COVID-19 impact may further exacerbates the worsening food insecurity and nutritional status of the most vulnerable groups including women, children and adolescents, refugees and displaced people, smallholders in rural areas, and the urban poor.
