A taste of home away from home....

To say that i have had an awesome week and weekend(food wise) would be an understatement!!!!!!it all began on friday night when my friend and i decided to experiment with my newly purchased multi purpose cooker!!!(whoever invented that gadget totally rocks!!!!)

We decided to try our own version of spaghetti....we boiled the pasta then fried some tomatoes and sausages with abit of spice and put the spaghetti back in and mixed it all together....the end result is one of the above pictures..:) i must admit it was one delectable meal!!!!!!much better than the rice and chicken that i keep eating!!!

The next day was even much better because we got to cook one of our traditional meals called ugali.It is made from maize that has been finely ground into flour.....we had it with spinach and fried beef.The picture of the end result is also among the pictures above. Though as an aspiring chef i am trying to be open minded and try all the foods that i can from the different cultures represented here, i had jus really missed something that was from home.....

To crown off the week my friend and i made some pilau. This is another of our traditional foods that is rice seasoned with different spices such as cloves, garlic, vegetables such as potatoes n carrots can also be added.Meat is also usually added but since we did not have any we improvised it with sausages:)

To add some flavour  to the rice we made a side salad called kachumbari...its made from onions, tomatoes and avocado....Now this weeks meals are what i call a taste of home away from home!!!!!
