WELCOME to my kitchen!
I need to be inspired for me to perform well in
my kitchen; my inspiration is from seeing fruits.
I always have a basket or bowl of fresh fruits on
the kitchen counter to get me going.
And when I get going, I cut lemons and place it
all around for a lovely fresh lemon smell. Then
I use some of my favorite ingredients like tangerine,
honey, carrots, basil, ginger, onions, sun-dried
tomatoes, plantains, batata (sweet potatoes) and
yautia (cocoyam) to whip up my recipes.
Additionally for me to maintain the tropical heat
in the kitchen and beyond,
I love to steam, stir-fry, pan grill, charcoal or
oven grill or just bake. |

Tropical
Ghana Kitchen Gadgets
Fruit Basket/ Bowl - A fruit basket or bowl with fruits definitely adds color and inspires in the Tropical Ghana Kitchen.
Wooden Spoons - The more the better because
it helps me work faster. And it makes it easier
not to use the same wooden spoon for confectionery
for let's say tomato sauce. Wooden spoons also stir-fry
well and do not scratch pots and pans.
Cutting Boards - The best way to enjoy the Tropical
flavors well is to have four chopping boards - one
for fruits, one for vegetables, another for sea
food and the final one for meats and poultry.
Knives - A good collection of various sharp knives from small to big and from bread knife to chef knife is necessary.
But be careful when handling sharp knives.
Other - Try to have multiples of measuring cups, spatulas, brushes, whisks, graters and my favorite stainless steel pots and pans.
With multiples, your kitchen will be up to speed.
Blenders - Having two blenders is good. That way
you have one solely for fruits and the other for
other kitchen needs.
Food Processor - A big and a small food processor
can help you complete tasks well in the Tropical
Ghana Kitchen.
Wok - You need a wok to stir-fry and beyond.
Grilling pan - This is a good pan to have in your
collection to add to your regular grill. Grill pan
are not just good for their grilling marks but their
great performance.
Pipping Tubes/ Bags - A pipping tube or bag with various tips comes very handy to add different finishing styles when garnishing. |
