As I’ve already said before and I’ll keep saying it… I love me some muboora 😀 (pumpkin leaves). This is definitely my favourite traditional vegetable. I enjoy it with tomatoes and onions, in peanut butter sauce and this here creamed version. The trick in preparing muboora is in ensuring that […]
Mushrooms are a great, quick cooking vegetable. I especially love this sauce. It’s absolutely delicious. You can have it as an accompaniment with almost any dish. It goes down really well topped on steak and maybe serve with some fries or mashed potato or even roast potatoes. You’ll be enjoying […]
I personally love sugar beans. This is probably because my mum used to prepare them in a delicious way and also because I was never a boarder! A lot of us Zimbabweans have memories of sugar beans from boarding school or University. None of them, for the most part, are […]
Salads are one of the easiest things to prepare. The key, however, is to have fresh ingredients. Remove that and you’ll be highly compromising the outcome. This here salad is one of my favourite. Pretty simple and tasty! It’s so easy to do you can quickly whip it up on […]
This salad dressing is guaranteed to give your salad a delicious touch to it. The great thing is that it can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 days. You will need to keep it in a closed bottle in the fridge. There’s really nothing to […]
Soya mince doesn’t have to be dull and boring. It’s important to understand that soya needs a lot of help when it comes to flavour. On it’s own it’s very blunt so it needs a boost. If you play around with it and enhance the flavour, you’ll enjoy it. This […]

These here potatoes are one of our common breakfast Zimbabwean dishes. Most of us have had this as a child and have in turn gone on to prepare it for our own families and it goes on like that! It’s such a simple meal where you can attend to 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 […]
Soya mince, also commonly referred to as “machunks” by a lot of Zimbabweans are part of our cuisine. They sadly have been somewhat “stigmatized”; I think largely due to how they are prepared- being bland and all. It’s important to understand how soy mince is in general. It is actually very […]
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, […]
How to cook muriwo unedovi is one of our traditional recipes here in Zimbabwe. The taste of the finished product is just absolutely delicious. My kids, include my 1 year old daughter wiped their plates clean and were ready for a second helping each! I served this with Sadza and […]
