This vegetable is known for its high iron content and nutritious benefits. In fact, it is said to have more iron than spinach! This is one of the health benefits that this vegetable is associated with. It’s very easy to make and doesn’t require a lot of skill at all. Tsine (Blackjack), also known as Ucucube in […]
Madhumbe (yams) are something I last ate in my childhood days! Maybe I could have had some in once or so in my adulthood but the point here is that it had been a while since I had had some. I was shopping in one of the supermarkets the other […]
I love roasted vegetables. I love how simple and hassle-free it is to prepare them and I love how the vegetables’ natural sweet and savory taste comes through. I find that the way peppers or butternuts or pumpkins even taste after being roasted is more prominent compared to when you […]
I have never been a fan of nyimo since I was wee high!! But after deciding to give them a bit of a kick, I’ll proudly say I’m a nyimo-lover!! IF they are made in this way or any other way, as long as they’re not plain! My husband on […]
This was another experiment in the kitchen and I’m glad to say it turned out fantastic. It was tasty my daughters wanted more and more! At least this is one of the two ways where they’ll eat okra. They couldn’t quite stomach our traditional version of preparing derere! The other […]

My friend from Tanzania told me of how they prepare their okra there, well at least one of the ways they do so. She said they stew the okra whilst it’s whole and enjoy it with one’s preferred starch. I decided to try it out with my little twist on […]
I last ate derere (okra) made in this Zimbabwean traditional manner way back when I was weee tall and haven’t had it since (my kiddie-taste buds didn’t quite fancy it) 😀 ! However, I do know of some people who love it made in this way but just couldn’t figure […]
This was another one of those moments in the kitchen where I had something on my mind but wasn’t too sure how it was going to turn out, flavour-wise. But I’m glad that this worked out. Everything just complimented each other and the family, especially the kids loved it. You […]
