If I said to you bush tucker what is the first thing that comes into your mind bush tucker trials? Extreme eating! Eating crocodile penis, scorpion, cricket, ants and mealworm in I'm A Celebrity. It is true eat snails from the French menu and you are celebrated; eat African snails and wow that is gross. Media images of food are everywhere of what we should eat and it is not bush. Fran Osseo-Asare believes that there is a negative image of African food. See the video by Fran Osseo-Asare author of Ghana Cookbook.

Ask yourself at the end of the year 2015 what did you do to promote Africa? Your heritage, culture and spirit. What did you do?
As an activist this means you have to support or actively encourage and advance African issues. So again ask yourself the question?

What comes into your mind when someone talks to you about receiving a Christmas hamper? Images of fine wines, champagne perhaps or spirits fill your thoughts, together with delicious sauces, rich cakes, luxury chocolates or biscuits, roasted nuts all wrapped up in a decorative festive wicker basket with strong leather handles a gift to indulge in. Delivered to your door umm. Lavish, delicious and beautiful, everyone enjoys a treat at Christmas.

Access To Safe Water, Hygiene And Sanitation

Water Aid helps West African children because without clean, safe water getting an education is almost impossible. Days and weeks are missed through illness. During the rainy season children get stomach problems like diarrhoea. Decent latrines can transform their lives. The charity Water Aid supports projects that bring taps, toilets and hygiene training to schools. This helps children get the education they need to fulfill their dreams and potential.

Well, this year saw the launch of West Africa Cooks and me losing sleep over writing articles on African food and drink. It's been a good year all round and we've had wonderful comments and feedbacks about the site and its improvements. In the new year, we hope to expand our sights and will allow more interaction with our readers and hopefully lots of cooking tips on West Africa Cooks You tube channel.

No doubt you've started to think about doing your Christmas shopping. I'm halfway through mine, I decided to start in September this year and I'm glad I did. The older you get, the more children there are to buy presents for and it's a bloody nightmare. Some of them I honestly cant even remember how old they are. Gone are the days when I could just buy a couple of presents for family and friends. Christmas should be called Cripplemas, it will cripple you by the time its done. So the best advice I can give anyone is - start shopping early.
