My sis cooks the best pilau ever so I learnt from her🤗

Growing up this was my favorite food.

This recipe was found by my mother in a Velveeta cookbook back in the late 70s early 80s I'm having to go off memory on this

Sundays always remind me of family gatherings from my childhood, with my uncles and cousins!!Now that we've grown up, we continue this tradition!!Almost every Sunday, three families (the clan) gather, and we say we're having a party 🤦‍♀️🤣So you can understand that we try to make the most exquisite dishes 👌😋One of these recipes is the stifado I made in my cousin's excellent cast iron Dutch oven!! Heavy as it was, it turned out... wonderful and tender 👌👌🤪🤪😋😋❤❤

Growing up our home was always filled with all sorts of delicious smells when my mom was cooking, but this specific dish was truly one of my top favorites. Such a delicious combination of veggies that I am sure everyone will enjoy eating. I was tempted to add Spinach and Mushrooms, but I thought I would save it for a delicious recipe that I have in mind for later on. 🙂 When I first started blogging this was one of the first recipes I posted with far less ingredients, because I wasn’t actually sure what to do and how to do it back then, but now I feel a bit more at ease and so I tried it out again. 🙂 (working on taking photos helped me but I do still have a long way to go)So, I do love to add peppers into most of the veggies recipes that I make…I like how colorful the dish looks and the taste is sometimes just a bit sweeter depending of course on which peppers you will be using. 🙂 In this recipe most add garlic, and since I am the only one who does not eat garlic, I make two batches so that all can be satisfied. 🙂A Spring and Summer delight for anyone who loves veggies and just wants to eat something

I used to make this often back in the 80's and 90's. Thought it was time to bring it back into my rotation.

The origin is really the leftovers. This is the very first primitive version of it. I try to replicate a dish using similar ingredients. Let’s see what we’ve got!

Celebrating the 13th entry into the trending list! The combination of salted kelp and egg is amazing.The origin of this recipeThis onigiri was made by my father a long time ago (o^−^o). There were similar recipes, but I'm keeping this one for my kids.

Jollof, or jollof rice, is a rice dish from West Africa. The dish is typically made with long-grain rice, tomatoes, onions, spices, vegetables and meat in a single pot, although its ingredients and preparation methods vary across different regions.This was my attempt at it.

My mom used to make this dish when I was growing up. The recipe is one of many from a traditional Finnish cookbook. My dad was a Finlander and loved all of the recipes from the cookbook. It is one of my personal favourites.

Fresh fish swirlling in a sea of coconut curry. True authentic Swahili dish I must say.I learnt this special dish from my mother the traditional way. A hot charcoal burner, that stone made pestle and mortar, the coconut grater you sit on.....they conjure memories of a lifetime. Delight your senses to the wonders of East African cooking which has origins of Arab, Indian and African elements combined. The fresh herbs and spices tingle and tantalise your taste buds into a frenzy.
