Eric Adjepong's lamb burgers with onion jam channel West African flavors
Eric Adjepong sees his personal story in sankofa, a Ghanaian word and concept symbolized by a backward-facing bird flying forward. In practice, it speaks to the need to understand history to move into the future. It's a hallmark of the Ghanaian American chef's food and cooking, and it's what his debut cookbook, 'Ghana to the World,' is all about. That translates to a combination of both traditional and modern, updated West African recipes, such as waakye stew, jollof rice and Seared Grouper With Peanut Salsa.
