Loaded with stunning imagery and mouth-watering recipes that transport you between continents, Ghana to the World is a vibrant celebration of a chef at his peak!”—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host and author of Bringing It Home

“By exploring his West African lineage, Eric honors food history and propels forward an important dialogue about African cooking at the same time.
