Iliki Pancakes with Pear Caramel Sauce

April 10, 2019 / Kaluhi / 7 Comments

Change. There is so much beauty in change. We bid goodbye to one amazing thing and welcome another different, but equally beautiful one too. We are {verrrry} slowly moving away from gloriously sunny weather that I love, and awaiting the cosy rainy season that I love too :D. I am without doubt thoroughly sad that mango season is now over, but pear season is right here with us! Besides enjoying this amazing fruit as it is, this gives us a chance to enjoy it in our cooking in all innovative ways we can! As the second pear recipe for this year’s pear season, we are getting into my iliki pancakes with a super easy to make pear caramel sauce.

Pear Tree Tomato Salad with Pear Ginger Vinaigrette

April 3, 2019 / Kaluhi / 14 Comments

Happy new month my loves!!

I hope April has started off nice and happy and you are looking forward to a deliciously fun and abundant next 30 days!! I find it pretty weird that April is still pretty hot. I do love me some sunshine, but in all honesty, I also love the cosiness of rain. But as we wait for the weather to change, let us enjoy the sunshine and the dawn of the new fruit season-pear season. Pear season is usually very brief, and I am making sure I make the most of it this time round. Seeing that you guys enjoyed my salad week series on my channel, I decided to throw in another one you will definitely enjoy! For today, my pear tree tomato salad with a pear ginger vinaigrette.

Mango Passion Fruit Mocktail

March 13, 2019 / Kaluhi / 13 Comments

I am so happy that March is supper sunny! I love the clear blue skies! Just look outside your window right now; brilliant, isn’t it? I love the sunshine that allows me to shine in all my shorts and minis. I am several shades darker, with the happiness in my heart a notch higher and my smile lines slightly deeper. Even though, admittedly, the heat can be prickly and the dust lowkey annoying, I love the overall warm nights that come with it too. While I am making the most of the sunshine before April comes along with the rains, I am also making the most of the fast waning mango season. The millions of fruit carts that were lined on the streets with Mangoes from Ukambani have now dwindled to a handful. And best believe I will be buying them even after there is only once mango fruit cart left!

I shared a full thread of all the mango recipes I have made since the blog started and this one is gong to be my final one for 2019. As we bid goodbye to the best fruit season in the universe, cool down with my mango passion fruit mocktail.

Curry & Garam Masala Githeri

March 6, 2019 / Kaluhi / 26 Comments

I really love githeri!!! Like, really really! I know some of you are reading this thinking I am crazy, or lying, or both :D, but the heart loves what it loves. While some of you totally feel me on this! I know you feel me on the magnificence of githeri! I know you feel me on how seriously it slaps especially when cooked right! I know you understand how perfect it is when served with some delicious, huge, creamy avocado. Githeri is a whole mood! A vibe! A positive state of mind!

I have prepared it in so many different ways in the past- be it with coconut cream, or whole sage and garlic or with ginger and pepper; but whichever way you go, it is always so bomb! For today my curry and garam masala githeri <3

Lemon and Iliki Short Bread Cookies

February 28, 2019 / Kaluhi / 4 Comments

I love baking things that do not involve too much effort. Reason is simple- my baking game is the weakest thing on earth. But this year, I want to work on it. And for that, I am starting with the easy ones, whose technique I understand and whose ingredients are few- but kama kawa, with a twist of my own. Short bread cookies are stupid easy, and trust me when I say, if I can make them, so can you!
I felt very at peace making them, the process is short and simple, but the twist I added was using lemon zest and my favorite warm spice iliki. For some weird reason, on this day, I wished I was making them with my children. I do not know what was making me so broody while filming lol! Maybe the cuteness of the cookies? Maybe the inviting aroma? Maybe their unforgettable taste that I felt kiddies would enjoy? I don’t know. But what is for sure is, you too will love this recipe, enjoy baking my short bread cookies and eating them too.
