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 was supposed to be smooth…

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 but all worth the while.…
Fish is something I grew up not eating due to allergy reasons. This means I didn’t eat it let alone cook it. So when I got the clear and wasn’t having allergic reactions anymore, I started enjoying this lean meat. I’ve only just began playing around with flavours to see what works and what doesn’t…

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 was the name we used…

These sugar bean patties are just delish! The family loved them. I wonder if these were sometimes made in the boarding schools in place of the usual boiled version if a lot of the people would view sugar beans differently. I do also like the stewed version, I think it really just depends on how…
I love cherry tomatoes! There’s so much you can do with them from this very simple grilled herbed variation to being a part of salads or even desserts.

It’s however important to give muboora a thorough wash…
