Meat balls are tasty, especially those that are made with flavor such as the ones in this recipe. The two important things to keep them together and not break apart when frying are the egg and refrigerating them after you have formed the meat ball. You can have these at […]
This oven grilled version is a variation of Chibage chakagochwa (barbecued mealies). Many of us Zimbabweans are used to the latter version, chepamoto (roasted using red hot log charcoal). However, if perhaps one does not like the smoked smell and taste on their Chigabe as often happens with chepamoto or you […]
Mazondo (trotters) both beef and pork are common in the Zimbabwean cuisine. Mostly men enjoy these and some women too. It’s pretty straight forward how one prepares them. I prefer to slow cook them. In this way, you avoid adding too much water which my affect their taste at the […]
This is one of the many Zimbabwean traditional delicacies and a definite no-no for others. For those in the latter group it could be a fear factor (according to some of my friends) or perhaps just a matter of preference. Aurther did the first version which you can find here. […]
This type of sausage that I used, the breakfast bacon Chipalata sausage, was actually quite tasty and the great thing about it is that it is all 100% made in Zimbabwe. One of the things that I was most happy about is that unlike some in-house sausages that you find […]
I had a good laugh when preparing these maguru (tripe). After I had washed them and cut off excess fat and was ready to boil them my 5 year old daughter took one look at them and was flabbergasted – astonished what this was all about. My other four year […]
I hadn’t made these in a very long time, in fact I think I last made them when I was in form 1 or 2 during my food and nutrition classes, LOL. My mom also used to make these for us every now and then. It’s a quick fix for […]

I tell you, potatoes are just fab!!! I totally love cooking them, let alone eating them afterwards 🙂 This is just one of the many ways you can make them. It’s a classic French dish which I’ve put a little twist of my own to. So dauphinoise is pronounced as […]
Bananas are one of my daughters’ favourite fruit. She loves them as they are, in cake or even as a fritter like I did here! This is a pretty quick dessert and doesn’t take much time to prepare. Give it a go and let me know how it goes with […]
I love biscuits! Especially with a cuppa as a late night snack… yep…LATE NIGHT snack!!! And no, I don’t really worry about calories or weight gain… can’t seem to gain any! Nothing beats fresh, out of the oven, home-made biscuits or as they like to call them in the States- […]
This was a request from one of my readers for Barbecue sauce. It works well as a basting sauce or as an accompaniment. But warning: it’s got a LITTLE “chilli” kick to it, so if you’re not a fan of chilli or maybe if you’re going to have kids eating, […]
