Classic
Kente Table Set
|
This
set of 3 kente table runners and 6 matching
napkins is custom-made by skilled Ewe weavers from the
Keta area in Ghana. The textile tradition of this region
features a different palette from the bright green and
gold kente that tends to be so heavily trafficked
to tourists - and demonstrates the rich aesthetic and
integrity of design that can only be achieved through
weaving by hand. A favorite for anniversary and wedding
gifts. Price: $50 including shipping and handling. |

 Amazon.com is
the most comprehensive source on the internet for recently
published African
cookbooks, largely since many self-published authors
sell their books on
the site. However, you're often out of luck when
it comes to texts that are a few years older, out-of-print,
or published outside the U.S., as is the case with
the Ayensu (Ghana) and Shardow (UK) cookbooks below.
