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 […]
I remember eating samp (Manhuchu) in my childhood days. Before preparing it today I actually hadn’t eaten it in over 2 decades!! So as you probably can imagine, cooking and eating them took me down memory lane in a special way 🙂 Now samp can be classified in the whole […]
Nyevhe (Spider flower leaves), also known as Ulude in one of our official languages here in Zimbabwe is a dried leafy green vegetable, communally known as mufushwa. It was/is usually dried in a season where there are available in high yield so that when they are no longer in season, […]
My family and I more than enjoyed for pizza. It was finger-licking good and everyone wanted a second helping 🙂 It was also enjoyable to make as my two daughters aged 6yrs and 5 yrs also helped in preparing it. This is probably my favourite of the pizzas I’ve made…. […]
In the quest to make a hearty delicious pizza, I decided to try and make my own base sauce instead of using tomato puree which can sometimes be a bit too sharp in taste. I should say, I was more than well pleased with the results of this base sauce. […]
I love tuna and so do my kids. So other than just making sandwiches or a salad I decided to prepare patties. They enjoyed these very much as Tuna Burgers 🙂 It’s pretty easy to make and doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare as well as cook. Quick […]
These pies are simple to make. What makes them delicious is how you make your filling. If the filling is not tasting nice, be guaranteed that the pie won’t taste nice! These make for a great lunch box idea, a light lunch or even supper. As stated in the ingredients, […]
Mbambaira (sweet potatoes) are one of the popular starches here in Zimbabwe. They are usually boiled and served with tea or even perhaps on their own as a snack during the day. I however, love this way of preparing them. My mum used to make them like this often when […]

Leafy green vegetables are perhaps my favourite veg to eat with sadza (pap). However, they do need to be cleaned thoroughly, especially muboora (pumpkin leaves). There’s nothing as annoying as chewing grit in your leafy greens, if that happens and it’s your first time eating them, you’ll probably despise them […]
Making these scones took me back to my early high school days when I was thirteen years old and making them! I had a little bit of nostalgia going on there! These are pretty easy to make. I have a sweet tooth, so even though scones are not supposed to […]
This came as a special request from one of our readers here on the blog. I think when it comes to spicy or hot foods, only put as much “heat” as your palate can handle. So it is with this bean curry. If you’re not into hot stuff you may […]
