Embe Dodo & Coconut Milkshake

October 9, 2019 / Kaluhi / 0 Comments

In high-school and shortly after, I had a severe milkshake obsession lol. Literally each time I left the house, I gathered my coins and counted them so intently hoping they would be enough. I tried them from all restaurants, and in all flavors. Then as I approached my 20’s, I completely lost my sweet tooth and I have since fell out of love with my milkshakes. Despite that, the craving strikes once every 6 billion years and I indulge myself. I like making my own at home, playing around with different simple combinations and I have enjoyed each one I have made!!

Today’s is one I have so very much fallen inlove with – my embe dodo and coconut cream milkshake! Let me show you how I made mine!

Chicken and French Bean Fried Rice

August 21, 2019 / Kaluhi / 0 Comments

One of the many things I love emphasizing on when one asks me what can make them successful building an online brand is consistency. Consistency in posting, consistency in quality, consistency in you social media presence. I have been consistent for about 6 years, and for that I am proud! But also, rest also counts as part of productivity. One cannot be creative when they have mental fatigue. Work is amazing, but so is rest. And for one to keep going, times off to rest are extremely important. I developed this recipe in late June 2019, filmed and typed out the everything too in preparation for my break. You are now reading this post in August and I am currently on a break. Planning ahead makes sure you guys still have recipes to try out and I have peace of mind while resting knowing the work front has been covered.

Because my body and mind was tired, I went with one of my fave lazy meals. It being a lazy meal does not mean it will be boring!! Fast, easy to make and I know you will loooove my chicken and french bean fried rice!

Kitunguu Matawi & White Wine Creamy Mushroom Soup

July 17, 2019 / Kaluhi / 6 Comments

A great soup is really life changing!! They are stupid easy to make, no matter how you look at it, and what I love most is how easy it is to develop flavors. I have about 15 soup recipes on this blog, each one having it’s own character and selling points. I cannot choose one favorite one coz it feels like choosing a favorite child lol. But what I can say is, I love my kitunguu matawi white wine creamy mushroom soup because of how herby it is! I love it because of the mushrooms and how filling they are. I love the creaminess! I love the mild booziness. I love everything about this!

Rosemary & Garlic Viazi Karai

June 26, 2019 / Kaluhi / 18 Comments

I loved walking home from school. Every other day, we took the bus, but on Friday, we would forgo a bus ride and instead use the fare for buying snacks and treats along the way. We would grab some sukari nguru ya 3 bob in Otiende, then viazi karai or bhajia for 5 bob at Akiba and with what’s left over- some mahindi choma or ice near SouthLands. 10 bob could really be stretched a long way, and everything we got was very much worth the walk. Now as adults and with full knowledge of how to make all these tasty things ourselves, we do just that, of course with tiny but super delicious twists. Hope you are ready for my rosemary and garlic viazi karai.

Red Cabbage and Orange Fish Salad

June 12, 2019 / Kaluhi / 8 Comments

I am finding so much joy in making salads nowadays! I love developing my own flavors and putting together fresh ingredients and surprise my pallete. I have gone through fruit seasons, and with that, delicious salads too. For mango season, my mango bacon salad with this bomb mango ginger vinaigrette, for pear season- my pear tree tomato salad with pear ginger vinaigrette. Today, a phenomenal fish salad enters the chat!

As I have mentioned multiple times in the past, the best salads always have a body of veggies and a protein – sio mboga tu!!! Now that we are smack in the middle of citrus season, let us delve deep into my healthy, protein loaded, red cabbage and orange fish salad.

Karafuu & Ginger Drop Scones

May 29, 2019 / Kaluhi / 20 Comments

One of the things I love waking up to is the aroma of drop scones on a Saturday. My mom makes them once in a while, and when she does, you bet I am always the first to go eat lest my siblings finish everything as i dilly-dully in bed. She makes them so well, and I honestly not only love these, but everything mom makes. Mom’s food always rocks, right? I took her recipe and added a twist on my own. I was kinda nervous when I made these, and wanted her honest opinion on the same. She loved them and asked me for specifics of what I added and decided to make them as I did going forward! My heart melted!

If mom said this recipe is bomb, trust me, it is 100% worth a try!

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.
