WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN than making Peanut Butter Stew or Plantain Chips or, better yet, mixing up something as unusual and tasty as Fufu or Kelewele? Kids can take their turns at being international cooks with A Good Soup Attracts Chairs. This book contains more than thirty-five easy-to-follow recipes from the kitchens of West Africa. Plus, there's a special section on how to throw an African party.

It won't be hard to have a good time in the kitchen. Learning about new foods and how to make them teaches kids about the culture of the original creators of the recipes. This children's cookbook introduces the authentic recipes of Ghana and West Africa as experienced firsthand by author Fran Osseo-Asare.
