I especially love preparing vegetables in this manner. Not only for health reasons but also because of the taste! There are certain vegetables whose natural sweetness comes through when you bake/roast them. Butternut, carrots and peppers are a few such vegetables which are a part of this roast. I prepared […]
I loved how these came together. I was initially set out to make orange yoghurt and choc muffins (for some reason I thought I was going to find orange yoghurt but much to my disappointment I couldn’t find it when I was in the supermarket, so had to come up […]
My family and I absolutely enjoyed this meal. The flavours were intensely good and this is no exaggeration! You can serve this with roast or boiled potatoes, rice or pasta. I used Montana Meats’ fat free mince and it worked perfectly. I don’t like mince that oozes out fat when […]
Simply delicious is what this cake is. Every bite leaves you craving for another and another and yet another! You have to control yourself otherwise you could eat the whole loaf in one sitting, BY YOURSELF 😀 (that’s how good it is and no exaggeration here!) I served this to […]

For some reason, in our Zimbabwean supermarkets I’ve never seen […]

So I had no intention of posting this recipe. Here I was, just baking for some special people and not thinking of putting it on the blog. I had no idea how this was going to turn out as I was experimenting! I must say, after taking them out of […]
