This veggie roll is one of the healthiest things you can eat and it doesn’t take time to prepare. It’s great to eat in those times when you’re feeling hungry and want a quick snack that is nutritious. My kids love it and you can experiment/ modify it and put […]
This is one of my favorite green leafy vegetables. I believe it’s important not to overcook food more so vegetables because not only would the food become bland but you will also lose the nutritional value you are supposed to get from that food. This is why I prefer cooking […]
When it comes to having vegetables, save for butternuts, I like to have them crunchy and not soggy or too soft. I also want them to look appetizing which they often don’t look like when they are over-done. This is also apart from the fact that you lose all the […]
I rarely do any recipe posts here on ZimboKitchen.com preferring rather to work in the background managing the site’s technology and business affairs. Well today am coming out of the woodwork to share with you one of my favorite snack recipe – nzungu dzaka kangwa – which is essentially roasted […]
Fresh cream frosting also known as whipped cream has in the past few years become the preferred icing on cakes and confectioneries over butter cream icing. Not that there is anything wrong with butter cream icing but fresh cream frosting gives a cake, cupcake or muffin a certain type of […]

Growing up Matemba was one of my least favored foods. This is apart from the fact that it is one of the most readily available brain foods in our in our Zimbabwean context. In other words, Kapenta promotes the good health and functioning of your brain. After experimenting and trying […]
Mince is one meat that I always have to have in my freezer. There’s so much you can do with it and it’s one of the fastest meats that you can prepare. You need such meats readily available in your fridge for those times when vanyarikani “respectable” visitors arrive announced […]
This is one sauce I love making, especially on those lazy days where I don’t feel like chopping tomatoes and onions for that traditional onion and tomato gravy! It’s quick, easy to follow and delicious too. So maybe it’ll also become your fav sauce/soup when that lazy mood hits you […]
[dropcap]N[/dropcap]hopi is one of those healthy and really filling snacks that I like.
