the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
French toast or toast mayai as we fondly call it here in Kenya is a quick breakfast fix that can be transformed very easily. This time round I added some orange zest and the results were amazing. Ideally a day or two old bread is great with french toast but any slice of bread will […]
Chia seeds are all the rave now. These whole grains are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fibre, antioxidants, calcium. There neutral taste make them the perfect addition to just about anything. From adding them to drinking water, to Instagram worthy chia puddings to parfaits, sprinkled over your morning cereal or even in baked goodies. […]
These buns will be the end of me, well the my waistline at least. I enjoy baking and cinnamon rolls are those indulgent things that I occasionally make and recently when I found some raspberries on sale I just had to buy them. I know some of us might find baking a bit intimidating but […]
Currently in Nairobi the price of potatoes is unbelievably high making it extra hard for potato lovers to enjoy their guilty pleasure, fries. That said, let me introduce you to sweet potatoes which in my opinion are better than potato fries, well on most days. Sweet potatoes are super nutritious and can easily substitute actual […]
There are those combinations that work so well together and chocolate and orange is one of them. I paired the two to make some fluffy pancakes which disappeared in seconds after they were done. Once again, my non pancake eating brother , Mr. Jobs devoured several. I also got some kitchen toys from Kilimall which […]
It’s ironic the first samosa recipe I share on here is chicken because I prefer vegetable samosas to any other kind. That said, samosas are great snacks or appetisers and are surprisingly easy to make once you have the samosa pockets. I prefer making my own samosa pockets and I have an easy step by […]
Ever heard of a person who failed at using pre made samosa sheets? Well I did! In my defense as soon as I had started to work with the sheets my other daughter (we were blessed with another girl back in November last year) woke up and I had to abandon everything. When I came […]
Are there some foods that you never ate growing up? For me, mushrooms are part of that list, I don’t remember when I first ate them but I think it must have been on a pizza then I graduated to mushroom soup and eventually sauteed mushrooms. I have come to love mushrooms and I’m also […]
Happy Wednesday my lovely readers! This past weekend, I had the honour of attending Jasmine Macharia’s book launch. Jaz is a fellow food blogger, who has recently authored a recipe book, Breakfast with the King. The book has 70 breakfast recipes and is also a devotional. How dope?
Happy Pancake Day! What better way to celebrate #ShroveTuesday than to share a crepe cake recipe? These simple cinnamon crepes are layered and filled with strawberries and cream. Yum! Perfect to serve as dessert when entertaining a group of people.
