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 […]

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 […]
Fish Fingers – Take 2
Goodness!!! This post has been on my drafts for so long, it’s about time I finalise it. I cooked this a while back so I can’t quite remember the story behind it, sorry. All in all I know I was in the mood for some fish hence the reason I cooked this. I tried a […]

Seriously Leo Tunapika?

Ingredients: 1 medium onion sliced 2 cloves of garlic sliced 1 teaspoon minced ginger 2 tomatoes diced 1 courgette diced 1 bell pepper […]
Pasta ‘motukanio’
Motukanio – (Embu/Kikuyu) verb: to add everything together. This is courtesy of my friend Dee. As we were on our way to town from work, I happened to mention that I had intentions of making pasta for dinner. Dee went on and told me of this recipe. You simply make a sauce with whatever you […]
