This oven grilled version is a variation of Chibage chakagochwa (barbecued mealies). Many of us Zimbabweans are used to the latter version, chepamoto (roasted using red hot log charcoal). However, if perhaps one does not like the smoked smell and taste on their Chigabe as often happens with chepamoto or you […]
I hadn’t made these in a very long time, in fact I think I last made them when I was in form 1 or 2 during my food and nutrition classes, LOL. My mom also used to make these for us every now and then. It’s a quick fix for […]
There are many options to this recipe as you can use Herring instead of Tuna. However, Herring is a more common fish in North America and parts of Europe than it is in Zimbabwe. As you know Tuna is readily available in most Zimbabwean supermarkets. So this recipe is really […]
French toast is something that we all enjoyed when we were growing up. In fact, the cook book that my mum bought me when I was 9years old had a recipe on how to prepare french toast. It’s one of the simple yet tasty things you can have for breakfast. […]
The Pascall range of chocolates is absolutely great and versatile. Here I’ve used the Pascall cooking chocolate to turn these strawberries into a lovely dessert or snack. Strawberries are loaded with high nutritional benefits ranging from the good health of your eyes, skin and even brain. This here is a […]
There is nothing more rewarding as when things turn-out better than you thought they would when playing around with flavors in the kitchen. An idea struck me one day – what if I mix chicken gizzards and ox liver together and wrap them in bacon. I finally tried and was […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 quick, easy and tasty sandwich which you can make for the lunch box or just snack on whilst you’re at home. The good thing about it is that it’s actually feeling. The protein in the chicken helps to keep you feeling satiated a bit longer. Give it […]
Cheese and tomato is a popular combination for sandwiches. I’ve just put a small twist to this by adding green pepper, shallots and ground black pepper. It tastes absolutely great and I’m sure you’ll love it! Cheese is a great source of calcium which is important for the formation of […]
This veggie roll is one of the healthiest things you can eat and it doesn’t take time to prepare. It’s great to eat in those times when you’re feeling hungry and want a quick snack that is nutritious. My kids love it and you can experiment/ modify it and put […]
