These were not easy to select, I was very picky about what I posted this year. I’ve been deliberate on making sure each post was worth your time and tastebuds! If you’ve been looking through the site and wondering what to make first, this post is for you, definitely start here.
I cooked it two different ways and they were both awesome!
So this post was supposed to go up last week but I was just waaaaay to busy! In a good way though. The year is definitely winding up, I can feel the rush, you?
The goodness of fried potatoes/french fries/chips without the frying!
Yes, a Kenyan burger! This is my take on what that might look like. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, just finally put it down, I hope you’ll like it. Check it out…
Beautiful colour, tasty, a little sweet even — what more can you ask for in a veggie stir-fry!
Just letting you know now, if you taste one before serving you might eat your portion of potatoes before they reach the table. They are delicious!
I know we are getting into our summer season now so you can save it for later when the cold season starts again. But if you are like me and you just like soup, you will enjoy this.
This is a do over of an old recipe that I took down earlier this year. I’ve made it way way better!
The sweet+sour+chilli combo is well loved, so why not with plantain? They are already sweet, so just add a bit of sour and chill and you’ve got dynamite bites!
As far as baked potatoes go, these delicious specimens rank very high. They look great and are so easy to customise to your palette! Have a look and give them a go!
Pretty colours aren’t they? It’s nice simple little recipe too, as far as quick dinners go, I’d add this to your list. Minimal prep and cooking time.
If you are looking at that photo and thinking “if I could just stick my hand into the screen and pull out a couple of those meatballs…” — I don’t blame you. I thought the same thing as I was preparing this post. And yes, they are awesome, do try them out.
Made this recently and used it in a couple of recipes. Thought I’d share how I did it before the recipes. Tamarind is an awesome natural sweet, right up there with dates. It also has a rich flavour of its own. See how I made the paste…
I’ve started to experiment with wholemeal flour, I’d like to switch everything I make to wholemeal. Here is one thing that turned out right on the first go…
Here are two more ideas for the plantain lover! These require a little more work because of the size but still worth it I think…
Hello! 🙂
Yes, I’m still around. August has been a quiet month for me. Oh I’m still cooking, experimenting and so on, just haven’t been online very much. It has been quite nice actually. Sometimes there’s just too much to see, and the more you consume, the more you want and before you know it your head is so full of clutter and you just can’t think. So I guess you could say I’ve been clearing my head. How has your August been?
Every time I roast veggies I like the idea more and more. I’m also discovering new things I can roast…
Just a word of warming, if you make this, you will likely not have any leftovers…
And here is part 2 of the interview as we continue to chat with June, …
If you are looking for something that will wow your guests, this is definitely it! June shows us how to get it done with such ease so you can look like you know how to throw down!
It’s guest post day! Yaaaaay! Have you ever met someone that just has you beaming in joy from the moment you meet them to the moment you part? Well, June is exactly that sort of person. Get to know her a little in this post, part 1 of the interview…
How does it look? Would you say delicious? It is — and awesomely creamy! It took me several attempts to get it just right so I hope you enjoy it.
fruits & nuts, we all like them in chocolate, but have you tried them in rice? It may just be better…
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding a little veggie to your eggs!
If you are looking for something colourful to add to the table other than a big vase of flowers (which just gets in the way of good meal time conversation) — this is the perfect side, it’s easy and versatile!
Hello! I hope you enjoyed getting to know Ina yesterday. Today you get a recipe.
Meet the writer of all things maridadi! + I tried out one of her recipes.
The combination of butter and garlic — lethal! Makes almost anything good, to me. Try it out on mushrooms and add a little heat…
Asparagus has been a challenging one for me to figure out. I don’t even think I’ve cooked it more than 5 times. It’s nice when I eat it at restaurants but at home I just couldn’t get it to taste right. I think I’m getting close though, this is the best I’ve made at home so far…
