FARIDA'S COOKING CORNER : MOMBASA PUMPKIN DESSERT

Why, hello there my fine foodie friends! In honor of  Halloween, which is tomorrow for those of you who still haven't gotten a costume, present company included, I decided to bring you a deliciously tasty treat from the lovely people of Kenya. Get your taste buds ready ladies and gent, for I give you  Mombasa Pumpkin Dessert.

FARIDA'S COOKING CORNER: POULET AU COCO

Salutations my foodie friends! (yes, "salutations" just happened, lol). Today I bring you a recipe from Comoros Island. To be perfectly honest with you, prior to finding this recipe, my knowledge of Comoran cuisine was non-existent. But I found a dish that is easy to make, can be served with pretty much anything: rice (brown or white), quinoa, couscous, potatoes, and is delicious!!!

Without further ado I give you a classic Comoran dish, Poulet au CoCo, aka Chicken with Coconut.

FARIDA'S COOKING CORNER: CAMEROONIAN CREPES

I am a HUGE fan of breakfast foods: omelettes, pancakes (preferably blueberry), waffles, cereal, french toast, hash browns, you name it. And I'm an even bigger fan of having breakfast for dinner.As an advocate for all things breakfast, I don't see why we have to limit ourselves to only eating breakfast food in the morning, right? So here you go my fellow foodies, an easy African twist on a popular breakfast dish courtesy of my friends from Cameroon.

I am very excited to share with you my latest dessert recipe for two very important reasons: 

1) I finally found a dessert I can actually make 
2) I now have an assistant, two actually. Yes, you read that right, I  have two assistants; well at least for today.

Nothing says Summer like warm weather, beach days, and BBQ. I recently stumbled upon a fun and easy African take on traditional American BBQ, inspired by the lovely people of Botswana.

So today, my fellow foodies, I bring you a popular dish from Benin: Beninese Peanut Sauce. This is a traditional Beninese dish flavored with onions, chillies, tomatoes and, of course, peanut butter. Yum!

I have been having quite the sweet tooth these past few weeks, so it's only fitting that my next African dish would be the popular Angolan dessert Cocada Amarela.

About a month ago, I wrote a post on Malcolm Riley, better known as The African Chef, where I resolved to step-up my cooking game. In the spirit of this declaration, I've decided to make one new African dish a month, for the rest of the year!
