Eggplant and pumpkin veggie side

4 / 24 / 157 / 13 / 15

Isn’t that a beautiful specimen of a pumpkin? My mother sent it to me, it is from her garden. One day when I own my own home I’d love to keep a garden like my parents do. It’s not just pretty with flowers, there’s plenty to eat. I remember when we were growing up there was always something you could snack from while in the garden, or pick to cook with. Mango, avocado and guava trees; rosemary and gooseberry bushes between the flowers; a few edible greens; passion fruit vine intertwined in the live fence,… Not all at the same time but there was always 3 or 4 things. Doesn’t it sound awesome though?

Potatoes and butternut

9 / 3 / 137 / 13 / 15

There are some things I have made in the past that I just haven’t been able to recreate, something we all experience. But I’m so glad I started this blog because now I record everything. But the things I did before the blog will clearly take some time to recreate…

Layered experiment

Not only was this fun to do, it turned out great! Try it out with your own combination of herbs and spices and see how it turns out. Definitely one for repeating.

matoke, potatoes, sweet potatoes & butternut in one pot

Matoke does not have to be boring and it it doesn’t have to be cooked alone, it plays very nice with a few roots mixed in. Try this mix and add some flavour to your matoke night days.
