I saw a tweet that led me to this you tube video. You have to admit this is quite a nice idea for a cook show. Anyway, me being me, I just had to try the recipe and the beautiful thing is that I had all the ingredients on hand. As Peter Nduati (C.E.O, Resolution […]

Baked Meatballs in Tomato and Pepper Sauce
Sometime last week my colleague mentioned meatballs then I realised it had been quite a while since I’d prepared any. One thing with food is that when you start thinking about something you just have to get it. I figured all that I needed was the minced meat which I was sure I’d get from […]
Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
What do you do when you just have one chicken leg in the freezer but you have two mouths to feed? Simple: Make chicken soup for hubby then shred the chicken to make sandwiches 🙂 Ingredients: Pre cooked chicken leg – I had boiled it in water with onions, garlic and ginger 3 brown bread […]
60th: Onion and Pepper Fried Chicken with Yoghurt
Yippee!!! This is my 60th post!! Wa!! Imagine. Thank you all for reading my cooking journal, commenting, liking and even trying out these recipes. I’m humbled.

Carrot Cake
Recently I have become the designated baker of cakes for a few functions. I thank God. So far I’ve baked cakes for a bridal shower and around 3 birthdays and thanks to some whipping cream and strawberries I’ve been able to pull the whole look together. Now the thing with my cakes is that I have […]

Coconut Chicken with Mashed Potatoes
I had missed eating potatoes and since I didn’t have the patience to bake the potatoes I decided to mash them. Making mashed potatoes is pretty simple, since you just boil the potatoes till they are completely cooked then you mash them like crazy. Of course there are a few spice addition here and there […]
Drop Scones for Dinner
My friend Kui asked me if I knew how to prepare drop scones, at first I told her no but after researching I realised one just uses the basic pancake batter. The difference is in the size. You use a spoon to drop the batter into the pan and voila drop scones. During my research, […]
Seriously Leo Tunapika?
Naming this blog leo tunapika wasn’t by chance. This is a daily question and on Tuesday this week it was no different. We had to attend a meeting in the evening so that meant we’d reach home a bit late. On top of that I just didn’t feel like cooking…yep!! It happens to all of […]
Fish Stew
I have previously been very skeptical about making stewed or curried fish but that has changed. The need to try new fish recipes other than the usual pan frying changed my perception. Ingredients: 1 medium onion sliced 2 cloves of garlic sliced 1 teaspoon minced ginger 2 tomatoes diced 1 courgette diced 1 bell pepper […]
