Right now in Zimbabwe it is the season for manhanga pumpkins, so I thought why not maximize on their availability and make some scones in addition to the traditional nhopi. This is a simple recipe and needs cooked pumpkin which is mashed. You can simply boil them as I did […]
If you love burgers but are concerned about the health aspect of it, then this is for you. This patty is made from fat free mince (lean mince), contains oats, which are a great source of fiber, garlic, ginger and egg which all have great health benefits. I decided to […]
Liver, like mince is one of those meats that are pretty quick to prepare. This recipe here is just one of the may things you can do with liver. You can also check out this delicious recipe with gizzards, liver and bacon. It will leave you asking for more! This […]
Just about every Zimbabwean has had what I call mafatty, which are usually called mafat cook, lol! My mum used to hate that name and she’d rebuke us sharply whenever she heard us say “mafat cook”. She preferred you call them fritters 😀 So in our household growing up, that […]
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! […]

French toast is something that we all enjoyed when we were growing up. In fact, the cook book that my mum bought me when I was 9years old had a recipe on how to prepare french toast. It’s one of the simple yet tasty things you can have for breakfast. […]
