Mercy is Beacon House’s wonderful cook! She prepares all the meals every day for the children and the staff. (And sometimes for the volunteers if we are lucky enough to sneak some)
Mercy started to cook as a partime job next to school in 2004. After she graduated in 2006 at the Ghana Education Service she worked several different jobs before starting at Beacon House. The decision of what to prepare each day is mainly influenced by the stock available and the expiration date of the foods she has. Mercy rotates the different food items so that eating at Beacon House never gets boring. Mercys favorite food is banku with okro-stew, but she would not say no to good fufu with light soup.
Her favorite dishes to prepare for the children are vegetable foods like fried rice and jollof. The time needed to prepare the food varies with the dish. As rice is comparatively easy and fast to prepare, banku takes a lot of time and energy.
Mercy is a great cook and always has a smile on her face! We all love and appreciate the food she makes everday.
