ABOUT ME
Me and my daughter at a local fair
Before I left my native Ghana in the early 1980s no-one would have described me as a ‘brilliant cook’. I was blessed with a family who always rustled up very tasty meals, and the local take-aways could always be relied upon for good wholesome dishes!
​
However, on re-locating to London I found myself missing the flavours of African food. Before long, I had started making my own condiments using some trusty old recipes I had been taught by my mum and grandmother. My husband loved my cooking and so did my young daughter, Rebecca.
​
The hostess in me loved entertaining and soon all my friends were asking for my “gorgeous home-made African condiments” to take home for their own use – the idea of Gifty’s Chilli Relishes was born!
​
It’s my pleasure to share them with you. I do hope you enjoy them.
