coleslaw

In my world, every time I host, I always include coleslaw as part of the spread. While it can be exhausting, I have come to truly enjoy hosting and it is one of my favorite things to do. I love creating an entire experience around food in my home, and I look forward to hosting in my home come 2026!

Coleslaw gets a really bad rep, especially on twitter (and that’s ok, really, we all like different things!). For me personally, I have always thoroughly enjoyed coleslaw. It is infact my favourite way of eating cabbage. I love the crunch. I love how it introduces dimension to a plate. I love how it adds the contrast of soft sweetness to spicy dishes. There are certainly many different ways a slaw can be prepared. What I would encourage you, my love, is to explore, and steer away from those that demand your slaw only has just cabbage and dressing. That is indeed boring but you know, we do not do boring here and I would like to introduce you to a slaw that has more depth and packs loads of fresh flavor.

As you go into the world of delicious coleslaws, allow me to introduce you to my ginger red apple coleslaw recipe. It is super simple, really delicious and one that I totally swear by!

One of my most memorable childhood memories are those that involve family get-aways and short trips within the country. I particularly fondly remember the times when my parents used to take my sisters and I (sometimes together with my cousins) to a recreation spot deep in the breathtaking Maasai Land called Olooloitikoshi every other Sunday afternoon. As we had been told, olooloitikoshi means “The land of the Zebras” in the Maasai dialect (i stand corrected if that translation is wrong :D), and for us, it was the funnest place on the planet. Immediately after church, we would pass by home, dress down a little, prepare some bitings and leave for the Rift Valley. One of the things that my mommy used to make every single time was some coleslaw. This always made the perfect accompaniment to the tender roast meat and the steamy soft mukimu served by the locals together with all other delicacies we would have at the foot of the Ngong hills.

Today I present to you one of dishes that never never missed our outings,coleslaw, but with a delicious gourmet twist. It goes beyond the basic cabbage and carrot for coleslaw and includes an array of other ingredients that make this more wholesome and 5 star worthy. Read on to know exactly how to make your coleslaw fantastic <3
