looks good. 10/10 for food-styling. Does Ghana have a masterchef Tv series?

They do have cooking shows here but the food is mostly based around traditional dishes.
Here's one sponsored by a cube additive company:

10 minutes to cook a meal, I'd just about get the pans out and the chopping board ready.

Tonight, Matthew, it’s going to be…
Well, it started life as a Carbonara recipe but I’ve altered and fiddled with it until no self respecting Italian would recognise my dish of eggs, bacon, * cream, mushrooms and a dash of ketchup.
We like it though
* edit, and Parmesan

Especially difficult for Ghanians. Most meals here need at least an hour to prepare.

Beef & lentil cottage pie, topped with clapshot. Plus a side of champignons a la grecque.

Pasty in the microwave tonight, with broad beans and grilled potatoes.
I'd never heard of clapshot, but the mash I put on my cottage pie is a mix of parsnip, cannellini beans and potato. (Last one was just parsnip & cannellini beans)

Clapshot is otherwise known as neeps & tatties - one of the world's best comfort foods.

Freezer raid tonight. Chinese beef, black beans, green beans and rice.

Neeps & tatties I have heard of.
I think my Jamie Oliver recipe started out life as swede & potato, but I changed it to parsnip because I prefer the taste, and the cannellini beans got chucked in to use up the rest of the can. (JO called for chickpeas, but I switched to cannellini because I'm not keen on those either.)
I quite like using parsnip as a potato substitute, I'd do it more often if they didn't go off so much quicker than potatoes.

Parsnips are nice, but just like sweet potato, I find them too sweet to use in lieu of potatoes.
However, they're fabulous in curries, and I do like spiced parsnip soup. Umm, and thin strips of parsnip, deep fried till crispy, and then doused in salt...

My wiser half has been insisting on growing parsnips for years.
I never used to like them; absolutely ghastly with the roast dinner, but tolerable in soups and curries.
Then we tried the Beeb good food recipe (boiled, tossed in mustard/flour/seasoning, then roasted with a dizzle of honey).
I now far prefer them to roast spuds!
