Welcome

January 26, 2023

It has been several coviduous years since confidently announcing I would be setting up Betumi’s Kitchen. Much has happened since then.

I no longer have any Bolga baskets for sale. And 3-D printing the adinkra stamps has proven to be cumbersome, and limiting. I attempted to develop silicone molds for the stamps, but couldn’t attach handles. Now I’m attempting to make silicone molds and fill them with an epoxy that will be more durable and can be washed in a dishwasher. In the meantime, I still have a few 3-D printed ones available. I’ll keep you updated here.

 If you’re new here:  Akwaaba! Welcome to BETUMI: The African Culinary Network.(BEH-two-me is an Akan word meaning “can do.”) Since 1997 (26 years!) this site (formerly Ananse’s Web: The African Culinary Network) has been connecting scholars, professionals, home cooks and others who delight in African cuisine and food history. This, along with my twitter (@betumi) and instagram sites provide a space to discover, document, and share information on the vast and fascinating culinary heritage of Africa. Feel free to explore the site and join our on-line community.)

In the world of culinary discoveries, BETUMI offers an immersion into the rich tradition of African cuisine, where each recipe tells its own story. Here you will find unique information about spices, traditional dishes and food culture, passed down from generation to generation. Interactive materials allow you to appreciate the diversity of African regions and understand how the continent’s taste preferences have been formed over the centuries.

When an exciting evening ends with aromatic dishes, there is a desire to continue the pleasure and experience a little excitement for a new experience. For lovers of risky entertainment, on the website
https://tofsports.ch/online-casinos/ausland/an overview of the best foreign online casinos is available, where detailed reviews of sites, bonus program conditions and current recommendations for choosing a reliable operator are presented. This resource offers a detailed guide to the most popular foreign platforms, including legal aspects, types of games and methods of replenishing an account.

The final chord of such an evening is the harmony of taste and emotions: the combination of the culinary heritage of Africa and the dynamic world of online casinos abroad creates a unique mix of impressions. This combination allows you to get not only gastronomic pleasure, but also unforgettable entertainment, expanding the boundaries of your usual leisure time.

Story

BETUMI is unabashedly a labor of love. It exists, developed and maintained by me, because it needs to be here. It also needs you to come and keep me honest, help educate me, encourage me, and continue the conversations that need to take place. I look forward to our future.
