Blueberry Banana Pancakes
It’s berry season and there are blueberry offers* everywhere you look so let’s make some pancakes. The first time I tasted blueberries I was underwhelmed, all those years of seeing them on TV, I honestly thought they would be out of this world. Truth is blueberries are pretty plain when eaten on their own but […]
Falafels with Salsa
The first time I made falafels my eldest daughter called them meatballs.They absolutely love eating them and always munch away even before I’m done making them.I’ve always been curious about falafels and how they taste. Strangely though, I have never ordered them at Zucchini. I always get the chicken shawarma.After finding chickpeas at my local […]

I plan on making a different dessert, pastry, cake etc on every weekday.I’m not one for rules and routines and I’m eager to push […]
WHISKY TASTING AND FINE DINING WITH DIAGEO AT MOVENPICK
Did you know in matters whisky, age is just a number? Well I was equally clueless but thanks to Alex Kavita the Diageo Brand Ambassador I learnt a thing or two about whisky. Anyway turns out the age of the whisky doesn’t really matter, what matters is what has been achieved, flavour wise.

Wholemeal Oat Banana Bread
I love bread! Banana bread. Bananas are those fruits or should I say berries that are easily accessible and pretty affordable. You probably have some in your kitchen right now. Ripe bananas are versatile and can be eaten as is, in muffins, breads, pancakes, smoothies or even nice creams. I am not big on eating […]
Braised Beef Short Ribs
The first time I made beef short ribs I failed miserably. I had failed to recognise that they are a tough cut of meat and require extra love to get the best of them. Since then, I have perfected the recipe and I can confidently say that this meal wows my people every single time. […]
Shakshouka
Simply a one pot tomato based egg dish. My love for eggs has led me to discover and make different things. When I learnt of this dish, I just had to give it a try, in some places it’s called eggs in purgatory guess cause the eggs are contained in tomato sauce. I like the […]
Roasted Vegetables
Quick fixes are a fave of mine especially when all that is needed is prepping of the ingredients. I have been loving roasted vegetables and I try to make them at least twice a week. Perfect over fried eggs, pasta or just about anything really.When roasting vegetables work with fresh and firm vegetables to achieve […]
