Dear Readers,
The "Joint Review Project" has started. The team is setting up an african food website with recipes of african foods, and reviews of restaurants, chopbars and joints that serve those foods. Yup, we wanna check out Auntie Memuna's hausa kooko joint in your area. We would like you to tell us which foods you want recipes for. This will inform the decision on which restaurants/joints to review. As an example, if you say you want the recipe for kɔmi kɛ kena (kenkey and fish), then we'll give you recipes, and we'll also point you to you all the joints in Africa which sell it, plus reviews! so you know which places to get the best value for your money. To add an african food to the list, just fill a short form (3 questions, of which 2 are optional) by clicking on this link which points to the form.
Please spread the word to all your African friends.
Always in support of change we can create ourselves,
Maameous

Good work. You're such a leader in thinking.
ReplyDeleteDoes hotel cuisine qualify also?
ReplyDeleteI have some nice pics of red red and fried plantain from Tema :D
Actually, a friend of mine does that on facebook. He always puts up new joints he has discovered. It includes desert joints too!
ReplyDeleteHi Pablo, hotel food would qualify as long as it is african food. You could review the restaurant in Tema, and upload your photos once the site is up. Will keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteMaxine, thanks for your comment. Can you kindly share the name of the facebook group that your friend created for this kind of thing? I would like to get in touch with him to see if he might be interested in working with us.
Thanks, Nana Yaw.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to meet you at the BarCamp Ghana event. Keep up the good work! BTW, I presume you have seen Fran Osseo-Asare's website, including her blog, on http://www.betumi.com?
ReplyDelete@Nina, good to meet you too. Can't wait to see the barcamp photos and notes posted on the wiki. Thanks for sending the link to Fran's site. It looks interesting and very much related to what we seek to do. At the very least, we'll link to her on our site, but she might be a good person to have on our team. Thanks for pointing me to her.
ReplyDeleteHello, Esi. This is Fran of BetumiBlog (www.betumi.com/blog.html). I'm really excited to know about your interest in reviewing African restaurants (I've talked about several at my blog, and ate at a lot of restaurants in Accra between January and July 2008.) I need to check your site more carefully. I'm interested in how you're going to organize the information. Ayekoo!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this long awaited initiative. Well done. I had a similar idea but didn't know how to set out..As per there are different tribes with similar foods. How would you tally those? A suggestion - pls provide pictures or english names for ingredients etc since people may not be familiar with stated item.
