Custard is something I’m sure a lot of people grew up having for dessert. It’s quite easy to make, nothing to it really. One just needs to be careful when preparing it to avoid getting lumps forming otherwise that would just suck!! No one likes to eat lumpy food which […]
This sauce is really for those who are like me- have a sweet tooth. I love me some sweet treats 🙂 It’s a pretty quick and easy recipe. All you need are the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. You can have this with ice-cream, some cake, on pancakes, […]
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! […]
Porridge reHupfu (mealie-meal porridge) is something that just about every Zimbabwean has had as a child growing up and even as an adult for some, perhaps occasionally! It has been passed down from generation to generation and is most certainly a part of Zimbabwean dishes. It is more like making […]
Another one of my moments where I was feeling inspired to “create” something in my kitchen. I just took a look at the ingredients I had in the kitchen and wanted to make a marinade for some spare ribs I had bought over a week ago. It was hit or […]
Spaghetti is one of the most simple pasta dishes to make. Most spaghetti packets come with instructions on them. It’s really not complicated to make spaghetti without exaggerating it as simple as ABC. The main issue, though, that I find confronting many people is how to make non-sticky spaghetti which […]
If you are in Zimbabwe, waffles are commonly found at Creamy Inn and a couple of other places. The good thing about waffles is that you can have them in the morning with fruit and a drizzle of honey or as a dessert with ice cream and chocolate sticks as […]
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, […]
This is mostly an Asian accompaniment which is normally used for dishes such as sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour pork and a few more. It can also be used as dip were you can have it with finger foods such as Samosas, chicken nuggets or even spring rolls. […]
Anyone who loves cheese will definitely enjoy this cheese sauce. It’s more or less the same as preparing white sauce which I personally love. You can use this cheese sauce for just about anything you wish – on your pasta dishes to even some of the meat dishes such as […]
This is a pretty simple yet tasty variation for bread and even toast. If you cannot find French sticks even hamburger rolls cut into half or plain bread will work still. You can check for the stick at the bakery section of your local supermarket, I got this at one […]
