This simple cake loaf will especially hit the spot for the coffee lovers. Or if you’re not really a fan of coffee and are worried about caffeine, well don’t worry, use decaf 🙂 . You can have this with a cuppa, warm milk or as a dessert with some custard or […]
These sugar bean patties are just delish! The family loved them. I wonder if these were sometimes made in the boarding schools in place of the usual boiled version if a lot of the people would view sugar beans differently. I do also like the stewed version, I think it […]
I love cherry tomatoes! There’s so much you can do with them from this very simple grilled herbed variation to being a part of salads or even desserts. You could grill any type of tomato if you wanted to enhance its flavor, however, today it will be cherries. With this […]
Muboora (pumpkin leaves) has got to be my all time favourite leafy green vegetable. I love love love it! I enjoy this version with tomatoes and onions as well as the dovi version (when it’s in peanut butter sauce), and in fresh cream or white sauce, totally delish! It’s however important to […]
Pancakes are something we used to have for breakfast every now and then growing up, together with other breakfast dainties such as crumpets and mafatty (fat cooks)! . It’s a shame that back then I so didn’t like them that much! Kids just have taste buds of their own, lol! […]
Chicken stew goes hand in hand with beef stew in terms of popularity in Zimbabwe. It’s one of the dishes that you will find at most takeaways and delicatessens in supermarkets. I however put a little twist in this one. Am planning to do true traditional chicken stew with huku […]
Porridge reHupfu (mealie-meal porridge) is something that just about every Zimbabwean has had as a child growing up and even as an adult for some, perhaps occasionally! It has been passed down from generation to generation and is most certainly a part of Zimbabwean dishes. It is more like making […]
These are pretty awesome. They taste like some candied-citrus chocolates my mum used to buy when we were growing up. I just can’t remember the name of those chocs!! I know at first the idea of eating orange peels is certainly one that you wouldn’t entertain as they have a […]
Cabbage can sometimes be so bland and boring when you eat it the same old way EVERYDAY!! So this quick and easy variation, which my mum also used to prepare, makes all the difference, especially when you’re sick of cabbage rakaboiliswa (sp :D)Â (plain boiled cabbage) or cabbage fried with […]
I love yoghurt and I love dried fruit, so having both of these ingredients in a muffin was absolutely yummy in my tummy 🙂 The great thing about this recipe is that in a matter of minutes you would have finished preparing the batter and 20 minutes latter you can […]
Spaghetti Bolognaise is a somewhat well known dish here in Zimbabwe. It is one of the pasta dishes that Zimbabweans enjoy together with other pasta dishes such as Macaroni and Cheese, Lasagne and noodles just to name a few. There’s nothing complicated really to this dish, it’s just your spaghetti, […]
Another one of my moments where I was feeling inspired to “create” something in my kitchen. I just took a look at the ingredients I had in the kitchen and wanted to make a marinade for some spare ribs I had bought over a week ago. It was hit or […]
