This smoothie was absolutely delicious. The whole family including my 1 year old now 4 year old daughter loved it. Not only is it tasty, it’s also very healthy. If you remember from my post of the luscious mawuyu umkhomo cake, baobab fruit is a super fruit. It has tremendous health […]
This is one of the things that have been around for decades! I vaguely remember having this as a child, probably only once or so, not my personal favourite, but I know many other people who enjoy this nutritious and refreshing beverage. I paid my grandmother a visit and she […]
When I was growing up, omelets were one of the first things I learned to cook and I thoroughly enjoyed making them! Though there are indeed simple, there needs to be a balance in getting your oil at the right temperature and folding it before it “sets”. If your oil […]
I love biltong!! It’s one of my all time favourite snacks, well after dried fruit, nuts and seeds of course 🙂 !! I decided to try and make some on my own using game meat. I was quite pleased with the results (for a first timer!!) I’m confident the more […]
I remember eating samp (Manhuchu) in my childhood days. Before preparing it today I actually hadn’t eaten it in over 2 decades!! So as you probably can imagine, cooking and eating them took me down memory lane in a special way 🙂 Now samp can be classified in the whole […]
Nyevhe (Spider flower leaves), also known as Ulude in one of our official languages here in Zimbabwe is a dried leafy green vegetable, communally known as mufushwa. It was/is usually dried in a season where there are available in high yield so that when they are no longer in season, […]
In the quest to make a hearty delicious pizza, I decided to try and make my own base sauce instead of using tomato puree which can sometimes be a bit too sharp in taste. I should say, I was more than well pleased with the results of this base sauce. […]
These pies are simple to make. What makes them delicious is how you make your filling. If the filling is not tasting nice, be guaranteed that the pie won’t taste nice! These make for a great lunch box idea, a light lunch or even supper. As stated in the ingredients, […]
Mbambaira (sweet potatoes) are one of the popular starches here in Zimbabwe. They are usually boiled and served with tea or even perhaps on their own as a snack during the day. I however, love this way of preparing them. My mum used to make them like this often when […]
This is a pretty quick and simple recipe but the results are just fantastic. This is just one of the many ways you can have your tsunga (mustard greens). We’ll get right into it. Quick Instructions Wash and cut your tsunga (1 bunch) and get your other ingredients ready which […]
This, again, is one other thing I learnt from my mum. Back then, microwaves where not as common to most people as they are today. So to warm your munya (the previous night’s pap) you usually had to put a little bit of water in a pot add your munya and […]
Leafy green vegetables are perhaps my favourite veg to eat with sadza (pap). However, they do need to be cleaned thoroughly, especially muboora (pumpkin leaves). There’s nothing as annoying as chewing grit in your leafy greens, if that happens and it’s your first time eating them, you’ll probably despise them […]
