Steak and kidney is a good combination of meat and this pie works great for lunch or supper. The smaller versions of this pie reminds of my early high school days. This together with chicken pie topped the list of my favorite pies. It’s a good treat for yourself, your […]
My mom used to make these for breakfast when we were growing up. I have named them crumpets – the delicate cousin of mafatty (fat cook) because when you cook them properly and break them in half they should be light, fluffy, and feathery unlike mafatty which tend to be […]
Muriwo we rape has to be one of my favorite leafy green vegetables from childhood. In fact, when you’re a child you’re quite fussy and picky over what you want to eat and some foods have to get an acquired taste. I remember peas, spinach and oh, these dumplings that […]
This has to be my favorite version of mutakura. Am not really a fan of nyimo (round-nuts) and nyemba (cow-peas) which are usually the ingredients for the other mutakura versions. This is a pretty straight forward recipe since your chibage (maize corn) has already been pre-cooked you put this in […]
This is one of my signature dishes, I can even do it with my eyes closed LOL…I say this because its quite easy to do and the taste is yum! In fact, if you have tasted Nandos herbal chicken this one is quite close to it without using the commercial […]
Gizzards aka chikanganwahama are a common treat for many Zimbabweans. They are various ways in which you can prepare them. You can see one of those ways here. This is a pretty simple recipe and will take you just 30 minutes and your meal or snack will be ready. Ooh […]
I used to enjoy making this popcorn a lot when I was 13 years old and my siblings loved it too. In fact my older sister always used to make requests time and again for me to make this caramel popcorn. It’s not rocket science or anything fancy but just a twist […]
Am personally not a fan of chips that are left swimming in oil. They will be soggy and not forgetting the fact that they would have absorbed a lot of fat, which in the long run can have adverse health effects for you. There is a little take-out joint in Harare that […]
Bream is one of the popular fish here in Zimbabwe, along with matemba and Mackerel. Growing up, due to allergy reasons, I didn’t eat fish, therefore had no interest in knowing how it was cooked, de-boned, and so on and so forth. 2010 I decided to give fish a go […]
Sandwiches are part of our day to day lives, lol! Okay that sounds a bit funny, but I mean it in the sense that almost all of us eat a sandwich in one form or the other everyday or every other day. Be it chingwa chine dovi (peanut butter sandwich) […]
This is a pretty interesting way of preparing rice. I must admit that whilst it was cooking I thought to myself; “will this taste nice?” But surprisingly so, it actually did taste nice. My husband enjoyed it and so did my kids, though they said it was spicy. In my […]
Though it is coated, it is a juicy and tasty chicken. I know a lot of people would rather deep fry their coated chicken but am not really a fan of deep fat frying for health reasons that’s why I decided to try and grill this chicken instead of deep […]
