Okra Stir Fry ( with Chicken Breasts and Peppers)
My friend from Tanzania told me of how they prepare their okra there, well at least one of the ways they do so. She said they stew the okra whilst it’s whole and enjoy it with one’s preferred starch. I decided to try it out with my little twist on […]
How to make Chimukuyu (Biltong) at home
I love biltong!! It’s one of my all time favourite snacks, well after dried fruit, nuts and seeds of course 🙂 !! I decided to try and make some on my own using game meat. I was quite pleased with the results (for a first timer!!) I’m confident the more […]
Nyama yeMbudzi (Goat Meat) Stew
Goat meat is one of the popular traditional meats in our Zimbabwean cuisine. You prepare it in pretty much the same way that you would beef. However, I usually prefer boiling it with some garlic, lemon and a bit of vinegar for flavour as well as to prevent the not […]
Pan Fried Olives and Garlic Flavoured Game Meat (Kudu)
I took this game meat challenge head on. I call it a challenge because before this, I’d never eaten game meat, let alone cook it. So I basically treated it as I would a good steak. This kudu was lovely and tender so I decided to marinate it in just […]

Meat deluxe pizza (Friday special)
Once again I was at it with the pizza. This time I made a meat deluxe pizza. As the name implies, it had a generous topping of beef/steak. It was totally delish and the more I make them, the more I become comfortable in preparing them. So same applies to […]

Delectable individual Shepherd’s Pies
These individual shepherd’s pies, as the name suggests, where absolutely delectable! My family enjoyed every bit of it to the very end. As most of the recipes here, it’s very simple to make. I served these with a green salad. You can also do that or even try it with […]
Tasty Steak mince with fresh mixed vegetables
This is a pretty simple recipe and I opted to leave the mince dry, that is without stew. It’s absolutely delicious and you can always make a separate gravy or sauce on the side and have this with just about any starch from rice, pasta, potatoes and even sadza. Quick […]
