From Pasta to Pigfoot

Meet your new favourite girl-next-door, Faye. An underachieving PA with a passion for pasta, she's spent her life in London's leafy Hampstead, disconnected from her heritage. Dismissed as a "cultural lightweight" by the man she's desperate to impress, Faye heads to Ghana in search of her roots and maybe, just maybe, romance.

Thrown into the exhilarating whirl of Ghanaian life — full of sun, flavour, and family — Faye meets Rocky Asante, a career-driven banker who swears he has no time for love… Surrounded by mouthwatering food, vibrant culture, and choices she never thought possible, Faye faces the ultimate journey: finding love by first finding herself.

A fun, heartfelt, multicultural romance, perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary, Bolu Babalola, and Candice Carty-Williams

A Londoner of Ghanaian origin, Frances Mensah Williams is the author of contemporary romantic fiction. Selected by WH Smith as one of the top 25 of its 100 Summer Reads, From Pasta to Pigfoot explores contemporary middle-class Africa and the humorous clash of cultures arising from mixing English cream with African spice.
