Judy Evans @JudyEv (369956) • Rockingham, Australia 15 Jan

Some time back we enjoyed prawns encased in kafaiti pastry. There’s a name for them that I’ll hopefully remember before I end this. Kafaiti pastry comes frozen – well, ours did – so you have to let it thaw thoroughly. Then you...

There is a common discussion about ow to use salt safely. Some argue that salt must be cooked with food; adding salt to cooked / ready food at the table is not right. But my question remains; why then is it commonly referred to as...

My favourite lunchtime meal on Sundays: GITHERI

SIDDI KIMPOLE @SIDIKIMPOLE (3018) • Eldoret, Kenya 19 Dec

Due to the sufficient time I have on Sundays, I like to cook a mixture of maize and beans as my lunch. It takes 3-4 hour to cook the mixture to tenderness. I then drain all the water and wet fry the cooked mixture before adding...

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (7234) • United Kingdom 4 Nov

Loretta @noni1959 (12244) • United States 24 Oct

It started raining in the early morning hours and not the cozy light pitter patter that sounds peaceful to hear on the rood. We are talking sideways, bucket tossing and drum bearing drops that slap your windows like it's mad at...

Favorite Dishes to Cook

Hilariously Hannah @hilariouslyhannah99 (9) 13 Oct

I have never really been an individual who enjoys cooking. I cook so I don't go hungry and for survival. I wouldn't say I'm a bad cook per se but I am not the best. I have recently started trying to find ways to make cooking more...
