the joys and woes of placing a meal on the table
I love me some pancakes, I love making them and devouring them. It’s pretty evident considering I have quite a number of pancake recipes on here. I find pancakes pretty versatile to make and you can play with different ingredients from ripe bananas,oats, raisins to chocolate chips. Since I don’t like them plain, this time […]
Zucchinis or courgettes whichever name you choose to use are a type of squash which are quite versatile. You can use in your stews and curries, as a snack in form of fritters or even baked/fried zucchini sticks, in frittatas or quiches or better yet make a loaf of zucchini bread. I have been making […]
Rice is one of those side meals or meals that one gravitates to when they want a quick fix. Most often than not, you are likely making it plain, with just the essentials, water and salt. Anyway, I’m here to tell you, no matter the hurry you’re in, you can actually whip up some exciting […]
I enjoy a refreshing salsa just like any other person and what’s more refreshing than adding watermelon to one? Not only is this salsa full of colour it is packed with flavour.

What’s better than a slice of black forest cake? Well mini black forest trifles. Moist sponge chocolate cake, sweet with a touch of lemon strawberry syrup and whipped cream come together to bring you a decadent dessert.
For the longest time I used to say and write cardamon! I bet I’m not the only one who always used to replace the final m with an n. Anyway, we live and we learn. Today’s recipe is courtesy of Kaluhi, in case you don’t know by now,she has an amazing e-book with simple recipes […]
So much for continuous posting for 30 days! Anyway I’m back and with a homemade ice cream recipe. You buy a bunch of bananas and as the days go by you realise they are ripening faster than you can eat them. What to do? Make some Chocolate chip banana ice cream.
