This is actually a marinade which you can use for your meats. Be it poultry or beef. There’s not much to it in terms of the preparation but the flavour that it adds to the meat (if you allow it to marinade long enough) is lip-smackingly good 🙂 For the […]
Full steam ahead with home made pizza! Making pizza doesn’t get easier than this Margherita pizza. You also don’t need many ingredients really. Just your pizza dough, tomatoes, salt, pepper, tomato paste or sauce and not forgetting the cheese! When I was making this pizza I only realised after I […]
This is a really hearty, velvet-y and delicious soup. It will especially hit the spot on a cold or rainy day. What I also love about this soup is that it takes little effort to prepare but the taste is just amazing in your mouth! If you want it to […]
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 […]
Chicken is one of the meats that we eat a lot here in Zimbabwe. For some individuals, everything is consumed including the neck, feet and insides. This is one of the ways in which people have their chicken necks; stewed. It’s pretty simple, like chicken stew and beef stew. If […]
This was fairly “fun” doing. I was a bit nervous, not sure this was going to pan out but I’m glad that it all worked out at the end. It’s a pretty quick and easy recipe and you can most certainly make your own pizza at home. The twist to […]

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 […]
The first time I tried these cookies they didn’t quite come out the way I was expecting. As we all know when in the kitchen, sometimes things work out and sometimes they don’t. However, I refused to be defeated and a week later I’ve tried these again, made some tweaks […]
This here version of madora, amacimbi (mopane worms) is for those who love HOT, spicy stuff! Do not try these if you’re not into hot stuff. However, if you do.. you’ll absolutely love them. The chilli peppers and the peri peri garlic sauce used here give a kick and an […]
Mupotohayi also known as Chimodho which is basically a form of cornmeal bread is common here in Zimbabwe. Not so sure if it’s still very common now, but back in the 80’s and 90’s it was popular. It went down well plain or buttered or with some margarine, jam or […]
