This oven grilled version is a variation of Chibage chakagochwa (barbecued mealies). Many of us Zimbabweans are used to the latter version, chepamoto (roasted using red hot log charcoal). However, if perhaps one does not like the smoked smell and taste on their Chigabe as often happens with chepamoto or you […]
This is one of the many Zimbabwean traditional delicacies and a definite no-no for others. For those in the latter group it could be a fear factor (according to some of my friends) or perhaps just a matter of preference. Aurther did the first version which you can find here. […]
This type of sausage that I used, the breakfast bacon Chipalata sausage, was actually quite tasty and the great thing about it is that it is all 100% made in Zimbabwe. One of the things that I was most happy about is that unlike some in-house sausages that you find […]
I hadn’t made these in a very long time, in fact I think I last made them when I was in form 1 or 2 during my food and nutrition classes, LOL. My mom also used to make these for us every now and then. It’s a quick fix for […]
I tell you, potatoes are just fab!!! I totally love cooking them, let alone eating them afterwards 🙂 This is just one of the many ways you can make them. It’s a classic French dish which I’ve put a little twist of my own to. So dauphinoise is pronounced as […]

I love potatoes. They have got to be one of my favorite starches!! There’s just so much you can do with them. From crispy fries (commonly known as machips by most Zimbabweans 😀 ) to mashed potatoes, potato croquettes and even potato gratin, among many other things. These roast potatoes […]
These cupcakes are pretty easy to make and yes, they do taste as good as they look 😀 Growing up, my mum used to bake an apple cake for us every now and then and I would watch and learn as she did them. I decided to make cupcakes using […]
Sweet and sour pork is one of those Chinese dishes that many of us Zimbabweans quickly got accustomed to. In fact, when my husband and I were still dating, this was one of the dishes we’d order when we went to a Chinese take out. It’s quite easy to prepare […]
Maguru (tripe) are among Zimbabwe’s top favored traditional foods. They are one of those dishes that you may have fond or maybe not so fond childhood memories of. If that be the case, hopefully today we can create a new and better set of memories 🙂 I had personally never […]
There are many options to this recipe as you can use Herring instead of Tuna. However, Herring is a more common fish in North America and parts of Europe than it is in Zimbabwe. As you know Tuna is readily available in most Zimbabwean supermarkets. So this recipe is really […]
