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…. […]
Mbambaira (sweet potatoes) are one of the popular starches here in Zimbabwe. They are usually boiled and served with tea or even perhaps on their own as a snack during the day. I however, love this way of preparing them. My mum used to make them like this often when […]
I enjoy making stir-fries. You can add as much or as little as you want and still come up with a great dish. And the good thing about stir-fries also is that they don’t take much time to prepare so you can be eating in no time at all. On […]
On again with the experimenting 🙂 So I bought some sugar beans which I intended to make my lovely bean stew with. Then whilst I was doing the dishes before preparing the beans, a thought just hit me; “what if I could make bean balls (as in meatballs but made […]
This came as a special request from one of our readers here on the blog. I think when it comes to spicy or hot foods, only put as much “heat” as your palate can handle. So it is with this bean curry. If you’re not into hot stuff you may […]
These potato wedges attest to the fact that potatoes are versatile and I just simply love them for this. Potato wedges have got to be the most convenient to prepare. Just scrub your potatoes, cut them up, season and roast until they’re done whilst you attend to something else or […]
This here is one of the ways in which I prepare cucumber salad. It also doesn’t take much prep time but the results are fabulous. You can use your favorite salad dressing/ cream here. In addition, although you could use any tomato, you could gain more flavor from vine ripened […]
This is actually a marinade which you can use for your meats. Be it poultry or beef. There’s not much to it in terms of the preparation but the flavour that it adds to the meat (if you allow it to marinade long enough) is lip-smackingly good 🙂 For the […]
This is a really hearty, velvet-y and delicious soup. It will especially hit the spot on a cold or rainy day. What I also love about this soup is that it takes little effort to prepare but the taste is just amazing in your mouth! If you want it to […]
I last ate derere (okra) made in this Zimbabwean traditional manner way back when I was weee tall and haven’t had it since (my kiddie-taste buds didn’t quite fancy it) 😀 ! However, I do know of some people who love it made in this way but just couldn’t figure […]
This was another one of those moments in the kitchen where I had something on my mind but wasn’t too sure how it was going to turn out, flavour-wise. But I’m glad that this worked out. Everything just complimented each other and the family, especially the kids loved it. You […]
