Potato salad with Mbambaira (sweet potato) and bacon

I personally enjoyed eating this potato salad! Combining the ordinary potatoes with sweet potatoes (mbambaira) had an interesting mix to it.

Vegetarian mushroom pizza (with olives)

My family and I more than enjoyed for pizza. It was finger-licking good and everyone wanted a second helping 🙂 It was also enjoyable to make as my two daughters aged 6yrs and 5 yrs also helped in preparing it. This is probably my favourite of the pizzas I’ve made…. […]

How to clean, cut and store Muriwo (leafy greens)

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 […]
