Chicken is one of the meats that we eat a lot here in Zimbabwe. For some individuals, everything is consumed including the neck, feet and insides. This is one of the ways in which people have their chicken necks; stewed. It’s pretty simple, like chicken stew and beef stew. If […]
Peanut butter is one of the most used spreads in the Zimbabwean cuisine. Most of the traditional dishes can have a peanut butter twist to them, such as this beef stew. Leafy greens, free-range chicken and cabbage are amongst some of the foods which can be cooked and have peanut […]
This here version of madora, amacimbi (mopane worms) is for those who love HOT, spicy stuff! Do not try these if you’re not into hot stuff. However, if you do.. you’ll absolutely love them. The chilli peppers and the peri peri garlic sauce used here give a kick and an […]
Beef bones are popular here in our Zimbabwean cuisine. It appears though that they are more popular with the men rather than the women, although some women do eat and enjoy them. You can have them as a stew or mixed with muriwo, (leafy green vegetables) which reminds me of […]

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 […]
Muboora (pumpkin leaves) has got to be my all time favourite leafy green vegetable. I love love love it! I enjoy this version with tomatoes and onions as well as the dovi version (when it’s in peanut butter sauce), and in fresh cream or white sauce, totally delish! It’s however important to […]
