You Are Invited!

Handcrafted West African Spice Blends, Ghana Chai Tea & Sobolo.

In Ghana, people take food very seriously, and when someone says “You are invited!” while enjoying a meal, they are welcoming a friend or close acquaintance to join them, happy to share what they have. While this phrase is rarely taken literally, you’d better watch out when it is, because your visitor is sure to indulge. This is just one of the charming customs of this culturally rich West African country – and it’s one of the reasons I love everything about it.

Now, if you thought you had a handle on spices, you’d be wrong. Ghana offers some of the most delicious and exotic spices the world over, adding complex and aromatic flavours to all forms of meats, fish, and vegetables. The dish the nation is most well-known for is called suya or tsire – a spicy meat skewer that attracts food enthusiasts far and wide.

What makes Gifty’s Ghana Kitchen distinctive is the fact that I stock a wide selection of authentically West African spice rubs, based on the SUYA spice rubs from West Africa as well as , exclusivly in Australia, our signature ingredient “grains of Selim”, a native African pepper pod. 

With its musky flavour, this spice adds an original taste, and all my spice blends are versatile enough to add exciting flavour to every dish. I even offer a handcrafted Ghana Chai tea blend and a Sobolo (spiced hibiscus drink kit) as exotic beverage options!

Available now to be shipped all over Australia and from selected retail partners.

I hope you will enjoy using my products.

And I am very excited to announce that I have a selection of unique and colourful paintings from some very talented street artists that I am working with in Ghana available to purchase now.
