Welcome to my blog

Hello and welcome to my blog – A Plate in the Sun.

 

It’s named after my first cook book simply because when I imagine a plate in the sun I think of enjoying fresh and delicious dishes in the sunshine, fun and relaxing times, summer, friends and all things good.

 

 

One of many beautiful tropical beaches in Ghana

 

I’m from glorious, sun-soaked Ghana in West Africa and grew up in Takoradi, in earshot of Atlantic waves crashing against the tropical shores. Add to that picture: palm trees, sand, coconuts, grouper fish, sugarloaf pineapples, the list could go on….

 

 

Light soup with chicken

 

Much of my cooking has its roots in my mum’s recipes and her style of cooking – an inspiration to anyone who spent time with her in her kitchen.

 

 

 

I read somewhere that “When cultures collide a hybrid is born”. Nowhere is this more true than with food and I love the vibrant tastes of African fusion.

In my posts I look forward to sharing my love of food with you.
