Disclaimer: This is NOT about which country has the best jollof rice. As a Zimbabwean, jollof rice was relatively unknown to me until my arrival at college in the United States. Feeling homesick, I joined and became an active participant in the Society for African Internationals at Penn (SAIP). SAIP provided a safe space for…

Spring Onion Pancake Jerk Mushroom Wraps
People often ask me what my favourite post is: it’s officially this one. Spicy jerk mushrooms get wrapped in a soft green onion pancakes with crunchy carrots and cucumbers.
Marinated Tomato and Mozzarella Caprese Ciabbata Sandwich
Well that recipe title is a mouthful, but not as delicious as the mouthfuls of hot cheese sandwiched between some incredible toppings. To the person who decided to marinate cheese- THANK YOU. I first came across the concept on The Kitchn and stopped in my tracks to try it. The only cheese I had in…

Tandoori Spiced Halloumi Skewers with Mint Sauce
Halloumi definitely goes on the list of things that I wish I’d known about earlier. It just compliments everything I put it next to. Try these Halloumi And Veggie Wraps on for size. Then come back and make this recipe and try and tell me that halloumi is not magical. I have many things planned…
Roasted Cauliflower BBQ Vegan Pizza
Boy am I mighty excited about this one. As you can tell, I’ve been eating a lot of pizza lately, and whilst this is probably not doing any favors for my diet, it’s doing all kinds of things for my tastebuds! Melting caramelised onions, sweet sweet barbecue sauce and a cool avocado dressing that takes…
