I am enormously grateful to Zoe Adjonyoh. If you love food, it is such a gift to be introduced to a hitherto untasted realm of flavour, and - in the form of her pop-ups, this book, newly reissued, and her spice shop (to be found on zoesghanakitchen.co.uk) - she is the most ebullient of ambassadors. It’s impossible to read this book without excitedly making a list of the ingredients to seek out and, from the beginning of the book, with its guide to the spices, herbs, fruits, vegetables, pulses, grains and staple flavourings, to the end, with its bank of spice mixtures and sauces (the “cheat sheets” as Adjonyoh calls them) and list of UK stockists, this is an invaluable primer.
