In Ghana, a Chef Finds Open Arms—and Open Kitchens

As a kid growing up in London, chef Zoe Adjonyoh learned to cook by watching her father make the foods he ate as a kid growing up in Ghana. As an adult, she opened a restaurant devoted to dishes like spicy, peanut butter–laced groundnut stew.

Here’s what happened when she landed in Accra with an open heart and an empty belly.  Read, and cook from Zoe's book!
