My busy parents relied mostly on large, filling dishes that either simmered all day in a slow cooker or could be whipped up with a few jarred or canned ingredients at the end of a long workday.

Certain styles of glassware have come in and out of style, but.Nick & Nora glasses.

Many bartenders we spoke with consider the Nick & Nora glass the new-aged., and we couldn’t agree more.The deeper, rounded bell-shaped bowl cradles the drink, creating a smaller surface area less prone to spills than the traditionally angular, v-shaped martini glass.

We also love its retro appeal, nodding to the elegance of the 1930s when the “little martini glass” first gained popularity.It’s the perfect fit for almost any cocktail served straight up.. We tested dozens of cocktail glasses but struggled to find the right balance of bowl capacity, stem thickness, and balance until we discovered Riedel’s Nick & Nora glasses.

These stems won us over in each of those categories.

At just under 5 ounces, these surprisingly versatile glasses easily fit our Manhattans and martinis with just enough room at the top for aromatics to develop and garnishes to shine.Cultures across the country are adopting and adapting the dish with a range of accompaniments.

Some prefer more beans to rice, while others love more protein and spicier shito, so each dish of waakye has its own unique characteristics, thanks to the many different accompaniments it's served with.The combinations are simply endless.

You can get a "simple" waakye with spaghetti or you can go large by adding a boiled egg, meat, and/or fish, finished with shito and stew.. On my last trip to Accra, in 2018, I lamented the absence of a contemporary waakye bar in the midst of so many new Western food offerings in town.I still have this latent desire to open my own waayke bar in New York, however my friend Jay Agebei has taken up the mantle and you should definitely go visit.
