The Voice African & Caribbean Food & Restaurant Guide 2020-21

Food Food Glorious Food…

WJanuary 2016 and look how far we have come. With limited events at which to distribute the guide, this year we have embraced technology to ensure that this is shared far and wide. In this issue, the advertisements are linked to websites to provide direct access to the companies in the guide. Videos have also been included to confirm the adage…. a picture is worth a thousand words.

Our 96-page keepsake is your essential directory for African and Caribbean cuisine throughout the United Kingdom. African and Caribbean cuisine continues to experience steady growth and increasing popularity which is demonstrated by its inclusion in numerous TV food shows with celebrity chefs. Veganism and Vegetarianism are also on the rise, chefs are reflecting this in their menus.

With the recent lockdown during the Covid 19 pandemic, home cooking has become essential, and many people had the time to experiment or perfect their culinary skills. At the height of lockdown, cooking videos for African and Caribbean dishes became widespread and flooded social media platforms.

Many more food businesses now trade online and so there is an increase of African and Caribbean food choices from numerous delivery services. In this new issue, we take you behind the scenes of some of our well-loved African and Caribbean cuisine; share the nutritional value of herbs, share an exciting variety of videos from our sponsor Grace Foods UK; provide current listings of African and Caribbean Food restaurants from across the UK.

Producing the 5th edition of the guide was no easy feat with many persons still working remotely and several businesses slowly reopening. We are proud to be Britain’s leading black media group and we strive to continually support our community.

Please support these businesses, visit their websites, email or call them and watch the creative videos that they have produced and, let them know you found them in The Voice African and Caribbean Food and Restaurant Guide digital edition.

… remember “ good food, good people, good times”

Africa in 4 super grains for you

Baobab - Adansonia digitata

Baobab from the ‘tree of life’ contains vitamin C, calcium, fibre, prebiotics and other nutrients. The leaves are used for soups, stews, the fruit for tea, smoothies and baking. High in pectin, it is also used for jams. The powdered form is readily available the UK.

Moringa - Moringa Oleifera

Moringa leaves are rich in minerals and have a bitter taste. Dried or fresh, they are used for stews, soups, baked goods and tea. Moringa is available in dried leaf form in many African stores and in powdered form in health food shops.

Sorghum - Sorghum bicolour

Sorghum is a traditional African grain used for ‘pap’ and porridge. The grains can be popped like popcorn and it is also available as flour. University of Georgia research found that sorghum has more antioxidants than blueberries and contains anti-inflammatory properties. Sorghum has links to the American South where Sorghum syrup/molasses is widely used.

Teff - Eragrostis Tef

Gluten and sugar free, teff is an ancient grain that has been endorsed as a “supergrain”. It is rich in calcium and iron and teff flour can be used as an alternative to wheat. Teff is popularly used in bread and is used for injera, the national dish of Ethiopia and Eritrea.

Immunity Boosting

Roasted Cauliflower, Grape and Wensleydale Salad

Cauliflower is a great source of vitamin C which plays a key role in maintaining a healthy immune system. If you don’t have Wensleydale, it can be swapped for other types of cheese, such as feta or Lancashire.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/roasted-cauliflower-grape-and-wensleydale-salad/

Baked Black Beans and Kidney Beans with Sweet Potato Wedges

This easy recipe is full of beta-carotene, which is converted into vitamin A by your body. This helps your immune system fight illnesses and infections. If you’re struggling to find beans in the main aisles of the supermarket, they can often also be found in the American, Mexican and World Food sections.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/baked-black-beans-and-kidney-beans-withsweet-potato-wedges/

Warm Lentils with Mozzarella and Homemade Pesto

Lentils are a source of zinc, which helps to maintain a strong immune system. For this dish, shop-bought pesto works just as well as making your own. If you’re struggling to find fennel, you can leave this out and use extra thyme instead. Any soft cream cheese or goat’s cheese is a good replacement for mozzarella. https://vegsoc.org/recipes/warm-lentils-with-mozzarella-and-homemade-pesto/

Supergreen Stir-fry with Marinated Tofu

This delicious Supergreen stir-fry with Marinated Tofu is made using wholegrain rice – a source of vitamin B6, which helps the body’s immune system. Wholegrain rice will also help to increase your daily fibre intake, which is important for a healthy digestive system. Canned or frozen peas can be used in this recipe, instead of soya beans.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/supergreen-stir-fry-with-marinated-tofu/

Pea, Spinach and Goat’s Cheese Frittata

This dish provides two of your five-a-day and contains B12, which is essential for a healthy immune system. If you don’t have goat’s cheese, any white cheese would work well as a replacement.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/pea-spinach-and-goats-cheese-frittata/

Recipes

Portobello Mushrooms with Halloumi

Vitamin D is usually obtained from sunlight, but that may be difficult with limited hours outdoors. If you can find wild mushrooms in your supermarket then snap them up and substitute them in this delicious recipe – wild mushrooms grown in daylight can provide some vitamin D.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/portobello-mushrooms-with-halloumi/

Hearty Vegetable Curry with Raita and Brown Rice

Iron is important in helping to boost your body’s immune response and this delicious dish contains plenty of it. This hearty recipe is filled with nutritious root veg, providing 40% of your recommended daily iron intake. If you can’t get hold of fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes instead– just add them at the start of step 3.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/hearty-vegetable-curry-with-raita-andbrown-rice/

Carrot, Beetroot and Harissa Houmous Flatbread

This quick and easy dish is packed with chickpeas and spinach, meaning it contains plenty of folate. This is needed to help keep immune cells active and healthy. If you’re feeling creative, you can even have a go at making your own houmous!

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/carrot-beetroot-and-harissa-hummus-flatbread/

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a warming, tomato-based dish that contains generous amounts of selenium. Selenium is a potent antioxidant that helps optimise your immune system. Best served with toasted bread, this Shakshuka is the perfect dish to spice up breakfast or brunch.

https://vegsoc.org/recipes/shakshuka/

Vegetable and Chickpea Korma with Spicy Rice

This delicious korma is full of copper, which plays in important part in keeping your immune system healthy. This vibrant and versatile recipe tastes delicious with whatever vegetables you have available and is perfect for using up short-dated veg and popping in the freezer.

IChosan Baobab Jams

Review by Voice Food Guide

first met Eliza Jones at a Trade Show many years ago when she launched Chosan 100% organic Drinks.

Chosan brings a taste of the exotic to you through their vegan friendly and gluten free baobab or hibiscus based food and drinks. All their products (jams, sorbets or drinks) are free of preservatives, artificial additives or colourings .

I was really pleased to receive a set of the new Chosan range of artisan Baobab jams and spreads with exciting and zesty flavours. I have long known of the healthy properties, including antioxidants derived from Baobab, especially boosting the immune system.

I first tried the Baobab Chocolate Spread,

and found it really creamy and tasty. I am not a chocolate lover, but I could get used to this.

The Orange and Baobab Jam went down well on some crackers with some ginger tea. I would definitely recommend it.

A few days later one of my colleagues had the Baobab Jam with Ginger which actually had a smooth warm taste. The ginger was just the right strength.

The Banana and Baobab Jam was also very delicious and we had that with a bit of seeded toast.

I certainly recommend the new range of Baobab Jams from Chosan as a tasty condiment, at breakfast or afternoon tea. n

The African Chef's Chakalaka Sauce takes meatballs to another level

Simple Meatballs Recipe

Ingredients

n 500g Minced beef (10-15% fat)

n Splash of Sunflower Oil

n Knob of butter

n 1 Jar of The African Chef

n Chakalaka Sauce

n Good Pinch Of Sea Salt

n Good Grind Of Black Pepper

Method

Season the meat with the salt and black pepper. To form a large ball, one by one pull an even amount of meat and roll in the palm of

your hands to form a circular meatball. Once all the meatballs have been made, add them to a large pan of hot sunflower oil. Once the base of the meatballs are nice and brown, turn over using tongs and repeat this process, cooking for approximately 1015 minutes or until all the meatballs are cooked with a nice brown coat.

Once cooked, tip any excess fat into a bowl to remove and add a jar of Chakalaka to the pan. Stir through, cook for a further 5-8 minutes. Plate up and enjoy!

Sweet Potato and Coconut sauce The African Chef's

Ingredients: (Serves 2)

For the Sweet Potato & Coconut Quinoa:

n 75g Cooked Quinoa.

n 3 tsp Ac Sweet Potato & Coconut Chilli Relish

n 1 tsp Dried Parsley

n 1 Cube Veg Bouillon Stock

Cook the Quinoa in a pan of water seasoned with veg bouillon and set aside. Mix in the Sweet Potato Relish and add the parsley.

For the Pumpkin Avocado Salsa:

n 1 Avocado

n 1/2 Red Pepper

n Handful of Watercress

n 2 tbsp. Toasted Pumpkin nuts

n 1 tbsp. Toasted Pine Seeds

n 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

n Splash of Baobab Balsamic Dressing

n Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Removed the skin from the avocado and slice into chunks. Finely chop the red pepper and add ingredients to the watercress. Toast the pumpkin seeds and pine nuts. Add the the salad with the balsamic dressing, olive oil and season.

For the Pan fried Salmon:

n 400g Salmon Fillets

n 2 x tbsp. Sunflower Oil or Coconut Oil

n Large Knob of Butter

n Lemon

n Salt and Ground Black Pepper

Add the Salmon fillets to a medium pan of sunflower oil skin-side down. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then turn the salmon over and fry for a further 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through but not over. Add the lemon juice and serve.

We enjoyed this recipe as a super healthy lunch or dinner.

Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins & minerals (including potassium, selenium and vitaminn B12) but its content of omega-3 fatty acids along with avocado - a great source of potassium, omega-3 fatty acids, and lutein. Because of the fat content in avocados, will facilitate absorption of fat-soluble nutrients (vitamins

A, D, E & K) when combined with foods containing those nutrients.

Hosting Virtual Food Events

Considering the numerous events cancelled this year, you might consider having a virtual event.

Here are 5 top tips for hosting a virtual event

Incorporate a fun quiz, giveaways or competition within your virtual event to increase engagement and attendee interaction.

2 3 4 5 1

Improvise on your virtual background design and perhaps base it on the physical event space you would normally use, which will allow attendees to feel familiar aspects of the event space virtually.

Implementing virtual entertainment is a great way to bring live music directly to your attendees, and a nice way to end your virtual event. Like every other industry, event entertainment companies are pivoting to virtual and can assist with bringing different types of entertainment to your online event.

Don’t take your attendees digital savviness (or lack of) for granted. Create an intro guide of how to access your

virtual event which you can also include in the events agenda. Perhaps do the intro in a video format so attendees can get to know you before the virtual event. Make sure to send the guide out at least 2-4 day prior to the event.

Planning a virtual event can still be a stressful process especially if you have never planned a virtual event before. Hay Events can help eliminate your stress and take the lead with logistically planning your virtual event, whilst you are focusing on the events content. n

ital Nomad Global vegan voyager

The intention behind creating Ital Nomad is to showcase black owned vegan businesses worldwide. I wanted travellers like myself, who are Vegan to be able to find completely plant-based food spots across the globe and simultaneously be able to circulate money back into our community. There are thousands of black-owned businesses all across the world and I’ve made it a prominent part of my purpose to source them and introduce them to the rest of the community.

unprocessed food that is cooked with only natural seasonings such as vegetables and fresh herbs.

When I think ‘Ital’ I think Rasta, and when I think Rasta I think about them being the liberators of Africans (both at home and abroad) this is demonstrated through the emphasis they place on knowledge of self, the importance of knowing your roots and the empowerment of the black race.

The Rastafari movement started in Jamaica and is also where Ital Nomad was born. Ital Nomad was created off the back of a recent trip during which I came across an abundance of vegan restaurants. This is what inspired me to want to share the amazing vegan cuisine Jamaica had to offer.

The name ‘Ital Nomad’ is my combination of being black, vegan and someone who loves to travel, all in one. I chose ‘Ital’ as it is derived from the Rastafari community representing the livity of the movement and the importance of eating real food from the earth, more specifically

Which now brings me to the ‘Nomad’ part of my name. Nomad meaning: ‘a person who does not stay long in the same place; a wanderer’. I have always loved travelling and have always desired to relocate and have a change of lifestyle, somewhere to contrast the cold, grey winters I’ve always experienced in the UK, somewhere more warm, inviting, tropical and serene, just to simply experience a new way of living.

Bliss Cadogan

Aside from highlighting black owned vegan businesses worldwide, what I also hope to achieve with Ital Nomad is the decolonization of plant-based diets, as a lot of our community only know one side of our food culture and have not been exposed to any other parts of it. Throughout my journey of researching and networking, I have found a plethora of vegan chefs, restaurants and food services from countries such as: Nigeria, Congo, Jamaica, France, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, South America, Barbados, Trinidad and so many more! Vegan food does not have to be ‘bland’ nor do you have to compromise culture to enjoy it. A lot of our ancestors lived off their land and indulged in purely fruits, vegetables, grains and herbs, so there is no reason why we can’t!

I invite you to visit your local black owned vegan restaurants, to not only support them, but to experience the food, experience an alternative lifestyle and also try something you usually wouldn’t try before! n

ital Nomad recipe:

Sweetcorn Tatale Snack and main

Serves 2

Tatale is a classic Ghanaian savoury pancake, normally fried on a large black iron skillet. Call me biased, but my Grandma Elizabeth made the best tatale ever and for me the taste and aroma is a comforting childhood memory.

I like to add sweetcorn for the texture and taste, grated courgette works equally well.

n 2 plantains - over-ripe - black skin

n ¼ scotch bonnet chilli

n 1 onion, roughly chopped

n 1cm/½ inch fresh root ginger, peeled and grated

n 140g/5oz plain flour

n salt to season

n 1 spring onion, finely sliced

n 100g/3½oz sweetcorn, pre-cooked oil to shallow fry

Method:

1. Peel the plantain and place in a blender together with the other ingredients, except the sweetcorn and oil, and whizz to form a batter. Stir in the sweetcorn.

2. Heat a large frying pan, add a little oil then pour half cup of batter in to form individual pancakes. Fry over a moderate heat until bubbles appear.

3. Turn the pancakes over and continue to fry until cooked through, pressing and flattening the pancake with a palette knife as it cooks.

4. Transfer to absorbent kitchen paper and keep warm whilst you cook the rest.

Serve on their own as a snack, or with a bean stew.

Nori & Callaloo Fritters

(Gluten Free, Nut Free, Soy Free)

Ingredients

n 2 cups Chickpea Flour

n 1 cup chopped callaloo

n 1 cup cold spring water

n 1/4 cup Avocado oil (or oil of your choice)

n 1 scotch bonnet finely diced

n 1-2 spring onion finely sliced

n 1-2 sheets of nori seaweed finely chopped (this will add the ‘fishy’ flavour)

n 1 tbsp baking powder

n 1 tbsp allspice

n 2-3 stems of thyme (de-stalked)

n 1 tsp paprika

n 1 tsp turmeric

n 1 tsp cayenne

n 1 tbsp pink salt

For garnish: flat leaf parsley, finely sliced spring onion (optional)

Add the callaloo, spring onion, nori and scotch bonnet into large mixing bowl. Stir to combine everything together.

In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and dry seasonings).

Add the dry mixture over the vegetables and stir in making sure both are well combined. Slowly add the cup of cold water to reach desired consistency. The consistency should be thick enough to scoop out but not thick enough to create a dough.

Pre-heat the oil on a medium-high heat and once the temperature has risen add your batter! Fry a few at a time to avoid overcrowding and causing the oil to cool down.

Fluffy Banana Spelt Pancakes

(Sugar Free, Soy Free, Nut Free)

Ingredients

n 1-2 sliced bananas

n 1 cup of wholegrain spelt flour

n 1 cup of oat milk (or nut milk of your choice)

n 1 tbsp of baking powder

n 2-3 tsp of coconut sugar

n 1/4 c of organic cold pressed rapeseed oil pinch of salt, cinnamon and a drop of vanilla extract

Add all dry ingredients into a bowl, including 1 tbsp coconut sugar and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine oat milk and vanilla extract and whisk thoroughly.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir slowly, adding 1 tbsp of oil. The consistency should be not too runny or to thick as it should slowly fall off of the spoon. Once you’ve reached the desired con-

sistency, pour the remaining oil into your pan and bring to a medium heat.

Once the oil is hot, slowly pour your batter into the pan and create small even circles to form your pancakes.

Tip: Grab the sliced bananas and place on top of pancakes whilst they are cooking! (Make sure they are well in the pancake as when you flip you don’t want them to fall out) Use roughly 3-4 slices per pancake.

Fry for 5-6 minutes untill golden brown on both sides!

Once your pancakes are cooked, sprinkle the remaining coconut sugar on top and garnish with any other toppings you wish. These pancakes especially go well with sweet and ripe mango and also agave syrup.

Enjoy!

Benefits of CBD oil

Previously published on the Voice website

Today, people love natural remedies and CBD oil is one of them. It has gained popularity over recent years and is even helping in medical fields. According to research, CBD oil may help in the treatment of illnessses such as various cancers and Alzheimer’s disease.

Around 200,000 people in the UK are using this oil, as it reportedly helps to relieve inflammation, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, and insomnia. But many people are still confused over the legal status of this remedy.

HISTORY

CBD oil is the liquid extract of the marijuana plant. It produces numerous compounds, but the most popular for people are cannabinoids. There are many cannabinoids, but CBD and tetrahydrocannabinol are most well-known among users.

Everyone needs to know what CBD oil is and how it works. CBD oil is one of the most prevalent cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It is an emerging therapy for many illnesses that are considered to be untreatable. CBD oils won’t get the user high so it is easy to get it prescribed in the UK.

1. Can cannabinoids be addictive?

Many people ask if they can get addicted to CBD oils? The answer is no. It is not physically

addictive and will not affect a person when he/she stops using it.

2. Is it legal?

People are confused as to whether CBD oil is legal in UK law. It is entirely legal in the UK because it contains only 0.2% THC, and it can easily be separated.

3. Benefits of CBD oils

Reduces Acne: Acne is the most common skin problem. It affects more than 10% of the population. It’s caused by many factors such as bacteria, overproduction of sebum, and underlying inflammation. CBD oil helps to control acne due to its ability to reduce sebum and its anti-inflammatory properties. Reduces depression and anxiety: These two common mental health issues can have a devastating impact on human health. But both of these can be treated with pharmaceutical drugs, which can cause insomnia, drowsiness, headache, agitation, and sexual dysfunction.

Assists with cancer patients: Some studies suggest that the use of CBD along with other Cannabinoids such as THC, kills cancer cells or slow their growth. According to additional research, cannabinoids such as THC and CBD are useful in treating the side effects of cancer and also prevents the growth of blood vessels that supply tumors. n

CHealthy food for professional athletes

heryl’s Caribbean Kitchen started in March 2019 borne out of a request to provide prepared meals for kick boxers fighting out of Renegade Fitness Academy. My youngest son was one of their semi professional title winning fighters. This led to me providing healthy food and beverages for inter club events at the Academy. This wider exposure resulted in a contract to prepare food for a professional MMA cage fighter, Jamie Richardson, who wanted healthy prepared food with a Bajan twist. Jamie knew that I was not able to digest white starch and dairy, and I no longer ate meat so he knew that my meals would be exactly what he was looking for.

do a trial weekend and we called it Jerk Weekend, and it was extremely successful...demand was beyond anything I had imagined...So, for a short period of time we only offered chicken and a vegan mains, along with a small side menu. Eventually we extended the menu to include curry goat and my signature side dish - broccoli slaw. I was then asked to prepare business meals for a client as they wanted to watch their weight and improve their diets. One of my clients didn’t eat vegetables however, once they sampled my pumpkin coconut curry, chick pea and lentil curry and broccoli slaw, they could not get enough.

The word began to spread via Jamil’s Hair Studio’s clientele so from this the demand for quality healthy snacks and meals mushroomed. My cooking and menu filled a gap in the local market as there were no Caribbean take aways in Stevenage at that time. I decided to

The business has gone from strength to strength with a loyal client base...At Cheryl’s Caribbean Kitchen we have a set menu which we post on Instagram and Facebook, our menu includes home baked ‘Sweet Treats’ which are vegan. We are only open on Fridays and Saturdays, 4pm to 9pm for collection only. n

A dream becomes reality

Jewel Isle Rum Punch is a dream turned reality for Anita Williams. She began to sense something life changing was coming her way.

In her own words she describes how “I could feel it, I could smell it, I could taste it, I knew a shift was coming but didn’t know in what shape or form or what it was about” Her life ambition was to own a posh classy restaurant, with an atmosphere of love. Her father himself was a successful and respected business man. After living here in the late 50s, he returned to Jamaica in 1963 and successfully ran 3 bars (pubs) and restaurant. He also was a property agent for people who lived in the UK and had properties in Jamaica. Entrepreneurship was his life as he bought his first home at age 21. Her mother emigrated to Canada from here in the early 70s and also went into property business. Before she left Jamaica she being trained by the infamous Madame Rose Leon she owned her own hairdresser salon.

LIFE AMBITION

and the history of my generation” The conclusion I came to was that business is in the blood. I then started to think of what do I enjoy doing, and what do I do best. All that sat in my head was the restaurant and this was purely because of all the culinary delights I use to see my father cook, and the delicious juices he would make, he would juice anything going if you allowed him!! Rum Punch and Jerk Pork were his main two perfections.

BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENT

Anita who credits working for a leading soft drink manufacturer for over 15 years gave her the courage to venture on her path, took a career break and today with accreditations of Entrepreneur of the Year Award and Silver Award as British Female Innovator and Inventor for developing the new flavours still believe there’s more creativity in her yet still to come out. n

Tasting Opportunities

There are many ways that you can promote your food business online and offline. And, if you have products and services on offer, you should consider these tips from insight2marketing.com below

Assuming that you already have a business plan:

1. Establish a strong brand iden tity. Share your brand story, testimonials and even case studies

2. Visual, written and overall tone of voice should be taken into consideration, so that your brand appeals to your ideal target market

3. Understand your customers and their needs, what would make them need or want to buy your food or drink product or service

Vee Roberts

5. Think about any issues that may affect supply and demand, such as distribution channels, overheads and finance. Have an inventory, so that you can keep track of food stock. But also consider literature stock too, in case you’re at events and need flyers or menus (as examples).

4. When creating a marketing plan have an idea of budget. And ensure you’ve set some clear and measurable sales goals. Whether that is the number or appointments to be booked, units to be sold, or event catering services ordered.

6. Consider where and how will you spend time promoting your food business online. Ensure you are not on all the social media platforms. Instead, be on the ones most relevant to where your audience hang out. Be visible. Share great content

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON MARIANDINA:

How safe is Mariandina?

Mariandina is safe because the ingredients are made from whole plant based natural nutrients as described with no side effects. Mariandina works in harmony with body by providing natural spare parts to replace lost nutrients and damaged cells and tissues. Large doses are well tolerated especially if taken after meals. Mariandina can be taken along side any medication you are taking. Mariandina will speed up the body’s recovery and boost the healing process.

How does it work?

Mariandina mops up impurities produced in the body called free radicals which promote cell damage. Mariandina works by providing the cells with vitamins and minerals required for cells to function properly. Without these nutrients the cells would be destroyed by toxic substances that occur in the body.

Do I need a medical prescription to get Mariandina?

There is no need for a medical prescription to get Mariandina.

Is Mariandina safe to take during pregnancy?

Pregnant mothers using Mariandina A and B will often give birth to healthier babies, nourishing the mother and baby during pregnancy and if they take Mariandina regularly through the pregnancy and after, the baby will continue getting the nutritional additive through breast milk. (Note: Mariandina J should not be taken during pregnancy)

What sort of diet do you recommend?

You are advised to eat a lot of green vegetables and plenty of fruits. Beans, peas and lentils are also recommended. Seeds such as Sunflower seed, Sesame seed, pumpkin seed, Hemp seed and Linseed are a rich source of nutrients and help to nourish the body. High nutrient dense foods of vegetable origin such as broccoli, spinach, cabbage, avocado, carrots and others have beneficial medicinal properties.

How to take Mariandina?

Mariandina should be taken after your meal or after eating something and not on an empty stomach. If difficulty occurs in swallowing the tablets, then dissolve them in warm water or crush in blender or bullet after removing white sachet, if you want to make sure your body remains in optimum condition then continue taking a maintenance dose of one or two tablets daily. Drink plenty of water. 1.5 to 2 litres daily is recommended. This helps the kidneys to clear out any toxins from the blood. For those using contraceptive pills, smokers and alcoholics, the use of Mariandina is recommended in higher dosage because most of the nutrients are used to clear the backlog of impurities and toxins stored in the body fat. In cases of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is advisable to take Mariandina A, B and J together with the anti hypertensive drugs or insulin from your own doctor until the blood pressure or diabetes is controlled. This may take over six months. During this period the Mariandina helps the body to clear itself of cholesterol and open up coronary heart blood vessels and improve brain circulation. This reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack and Kidney failure. Patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Skin, kidney and Intestinal disorders may be treated as recommended in the health dosage guide.

Eating In Ghana

Jackie Morrison

Ileft the UK on March 13, 2020 for a 6 day trip to Ghana and returned 150 days later, due to the recent pandemic & lockdown. I discovered how delicious Ghanaian food is and I wished I had tried it earlier.

My favourite restaurant was The Addo’s, West Hills Mall. Main meals cost GHC 25, £3.50. I loved the atmosphere; their menu was compact, with many favourite dishes.

These were ampesi (boiled plantain/ yam) with palava sauce (kontonmire/ cocoyam leaves) & fish, ground nut soup & tuna/salmon with fufu (pounded cassava) or omo tuo (boiled rice balls) and red red (boiled beans) served with palm oil & fried plantain. A nice cool Club lager complimented all dishes.

With diminishing funds, I ate at a local Chop Bar in Achimota. For GHC 9, £1.30, I had fufu, palm nut soup, tuna, kontonmire & okra. I even pounded palm nuts in the village. The meals were so filling that I only ate twice a day! Oh, I can’t forget Shito, hot pepper sauce. Me eating pepper, unbelievable!

At my apartment, I had access to cooking facilities, so I bought fresh fruits & vegetables at the markets. The pineapples & mangoes are the sweetest in the World. I quickly learnt how to barter to get Ghana prices from the market women, to avoid their tourist prices! The best part was learning to eat with my fingers, no more knives & forks for me!

Now I’m back, I’m ordering takeaways. I miss the food so much. n

Allergic to dairy and gluten

At Tasty No Dairy, we are passionate about baking delicious muffins, brownies and cakes that anyone can

All our products are freshly handmade using only plantbased, natural ingredients and are suitable for vegan, non-dairy and gluten-free diets. We are based in South East London and deliver anywhere in the UK. We don’t bake cakes, we bake love! The Story behind Tasty No Dairy – by Founder, Richard.

“It all started with a peanut butter muffin. I used to run a coffee shop and one of my regular customers, who was allergic to dairy and gluten, was explaining how challenging it was to find fresh, healthy and tasty dairy and gluten-free cakes. I am lactose-intolerant myself and knew exactly where he was coming from.

This is how the first Tasty No Dairy cake was born: our signature Peanut Butter, muffin which quickly became a hit with adults and little ones, with some of my customers travelling from across town to collect their sweet treats. We have now extended the range and offer 12 delicious muffin flavours for all tastes as well as a selection of brownies and cakes including the popular sticky toffee pudding.” n
