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 […]
These are pretty easy to do and taste good too! They’re kinda like marshmallows yet not as soft as marshmallows but not hard either as they just melt in your mouth, yum! The preparation itself doesn’t take time at all. It’s the baking process which may take a little time […]
Manhanga (pumpkins) are something that a lot of Zimbabweans enjoy especially when they are in season, together with their leaves, which we call muboora.

These will do well for a kid’s party or as a starter before your main meal. You can also have it even as a snack during the day. The reason why I prefer having fruits as a starter, that is before a meal, is because ideally fruits are to be […]
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).
