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 […]
There are so many things you can do with beef steak and this is just one of them. The marinade helps to leave the steak nice, juicy and flavorful. You can check how to make the marinade here. Give it a go and you’ll keep going back for more! Quick […]
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 […]
This was another moment of inspiration that just struck me. I thought, well coleslaw is one popular salad for most Zimbabweans and it is made in the same old way (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but why not make it a little bit different, but tasty too). You […]

This is a signature dish for many Zimbabweans in and outside of Zimbabwe (where the correct ingredients can be found). If you have been out of the country for a prolonged period of time as I once was you are probably dying of nostalgia at seeing this popular dish. I […]
