“Retired from state government, Ms. [Eliza] Smith, 62, cooks Liberian food in her kitchen in Flushing, Queens, for paying customers. … ‘The fish makes it funky,’ she says.” — Photo essay with audio interview at New York Times
I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Grand Gedeh county (River Gbeh) 1976-78. I ate like a god throughout Liberia, and have not found anything resembling potato greens, palm butter with chicken or foo foo on the East Coast since my return. If you can provide an address or phone, I would ask Ms. Smith to prepare a meal which I would serve to my family in the Berkshires, without hesitation, at any price!
Thank you.
My son is currently a Peace Corps volunteer in Zwedru, Liberia. I thoroughly enjoyed the article about Ms. Eliza Smith and her home cooking. My wife and I would love to experience true Liberian food and chat with Ms. Smith about her memories of Liberia (we live in the metropolitan area). Would you be able to tell me how to contact Ms. Smith to arrange this? Thank you.
