This is my interpretation of #mutakura, a local snack in Zimbabwe. It is made by boiling #bambara beans and peanuts until they are very soft. It should be eaten in controlled portions due to its tendency to bloat. I have used mine as the star of a main meal, sweetened and freshened with sweetcorn. #beinspired #vegan #vegansofafrica #instavegan #instafood #Africancook #afrofood #afrofusion #vegan_african #veganlove #africanfood #africancook #AfricanCuisineExpert #africancuisine #instafood #instayum #foodlove #afrocooking #africancooking

It is national #vegan week this week and have a wonderful contribution to make in the spirit of the recent #Botswana independence celebrations putting one of Botswana's traditional foods in the spotlight. These are #bambara beans or round nuts, also known as bambara ground nuts. In Botswana they are known as #ditloo and the Shona speakers of #Zimbabwe call them #nyimo. They are highly nutritious: providing a highly calorific source of food with a protein content which is superior to that of other beans. As such they are a common food for nursing mothers and an excellent alernative for vegans. Unfortunately they are not widely available outside Africa as they are currently under cultivated and underutilised. This owes to the long cooking process required however these provide a much needed solution to malnutrition and food security in Africa. I got a hold of some in London and hope to inspire you with a few meal ideas. #Onelove

Courgette and potato soup with a dollop of cashew cream. Waste not want not. I had courgettes/zucchini in my fridge that I didn't want to waste. So I made soup with them. So simple I just don't know why I don't do this more often. #zucchini #soup #vegan #wastenotwantnot #courgette #afrovegan #vegan_african #myburntorange #22daysvegan #afrofusion #britishfood #africancook #AfricanCuisineExpert Link to recipe in bio.

Just saw this on a Facebook page I follow, I don't know the artist. It perfectly depicts the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. My mom is a Ghanaian woman and this is how she washed and massaged my first baby. With so much love and tenderness. I wish I could have done it with my other 2 but I guess they just don't make us women like our mothers. Coo, baby, coo.

@Groupon interviewed me for their article on "A snapshot of African food in 9 dishes". Isn't this a fab #afrofood infographic introducing #AfricanCuisine? #instafood #Africancook #afrofood #AfricanCuisineExpert #africancuisine #instafood #afrocooking #ghanaianfoodblogger #ghanafoodie #africanfood #afrofusion #afrofoodtalks

My two little angels having thrills of laughter whilst trying to fill mommy's shoes. I pray that as they strive to do this, those instances where their qualifications, skills and experience are constantly second guessed, or their intelligence and competence is questioned because they don't "look" like they would know... every negative experience that a black woman rising may experience in this thing called life; I pray may not break them, but make them stronger. When my little girl told me that she wanted to fly, and I told her she couldn't because she had no wings, she told me I was wrong and went to find proof. She returned with her fairy wings and said, "I told you I have wings." May that fire and boldness in spirit only continue to grow and grow and grow.
