So after having rediscovered samp (manhuchu) after over 2 decades of neglecting it, I must say I’ve fallen in love with this high fibre whole grain starch. I decided to play around with it a little and make something similar to fried rice. I must say, it was a hit […]
I remember eating samp (Manhuchu) in my childhood days. Before preparing it today I actually hadn’t eaten it in over 2 decades!! So as you probably can imagine, cooking and eating them took me down memory lane in a special way 🙂 Now samp can be classified in the whole […]
Goat meat is one of the popular traditional meats in our Zimbabwean cuisine. You prepare it in pretty much the same way that you would beef. However, I usually prefer boiling it with some garlic, lemon and a bit of vinegar for flavour as well as to prevent the not […]
I took this game meat challenge head on. I call it a challenge because before this, I’d never eaten game meat, let alone cook it. So I basically treated it as I would a good steak. This kudu was lovely and tender so I decided to marinate it in just […]
I was with my dearly beloved grandmother over the weekend. We had a lengthy but definitely interesting talk on Zimbabwean foods. I gleaned quite a lot of information from her. In the conversation we also talked about oxtail and this is one of her signature dishes. We all enjoyed eating […]
How to cook muriwo unedovi is one of our traditional recipes here in Zimbabwe. The taste of the finished product is just absolutely delicious. My kids, include my 1 year old daughter wiped their plates clean and were ready for a second helping each! I served this with Sadza and […]
Once again I was at it with the pizza. This time I made a meat deluxe pizza. As the name implies, it had a generous topping of beef/steak. It was totally delish and the more I make them, the more I become comfortable in preparing them. So same applies to […]
I personally enjoyed eating this potato salad! Combining the ordinary potatoes with sweet potatoes (mbambaira) had an interesting mix to it. The bacon just tied everything together resulting in a wonderful dish! It’s pretty simple and straight forward. If you want to carry this salad to work, you can do […]
I really enjoyed making these fruits in a jar. They will be perfect to carry along to work as your light, healthy lunch or snack. You can even pack this when you’re going on a long journey or a picnic or for the older kids (high school going) to take […]
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…. […]
I love tuna and so do my kids. So other than just making sandwiches or a salad I decided to prepare patties. They enjoyed these very much as Tuna Burgers 🙂 It’s pretty easy to make and doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare as well as cook. Quick […]
These individual shepherd’s pies, as the name suggests, where absolutely delectable! My family enjoyed every bit of it to the very end. As most of the recipes here, it’s very simple to make. I served these with a green salad. You can also do that or even try it with […]
