  1. USHAI KULA MKIA🐂 But first marinate your oxtail pieces and sear them in a hot pan until browned. . Transfer to a pressure cooker with a bit of broth/water. Cook until the meat is literally falling off the bone. . Shred the meat once cooled. . Boil plantain chunks (peel on), then peel and press them into “cups” using a lemon squeezer lined with parchment paper. . Deep fry the plantain cups until golden and crispy. . Fill each cup with the pulled oxtail and top with fresh kachumbari. Best served with a cold Coke @cocacola_kenya @ccbainkenya and some “chama” vibes! I definitely had to celebrate my win with some cold coca cola #MealMoments #CocaCola #Recipeformagic

  1. Let’s put that homemade butter to good use. The difference between butterscotch and caramel is the preparation process and the sugar that’s used. *The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. Butterscotch - 1/4 cup butter - 1 cup brown sugar - 300 ml cream Caramel - 1 cup caster sugar - 1/4 cup butter - 300 ml cream - 1/4 tsp salt #Butterscotch #Recipe #Caramel #ButterscotchSauce #CaramelSauce #Yum #Tasty #EasyRecipe #Cream #CastorSugar #BrownSugar #ButterscotchRecipe #ButterscotchSauceRecipe #CaramelSauceRecipe #Delicious #Desserts #Sugar #Sweet

  2. Mutura is one of the easiest things to make, it’s just a process but a very rewarding one☺️ I love this delicacy especially when it’s made right. - 2Kg of Matumbo (tripe )and goat meat - 500 g Mara (intestines) - salt to taste - 1 onion thinly sliced - 1 tsp garlic ginger paste - 1 chili (optional) #delicacy #Recipe #Kenya #KenRecipe #Tripe #GoatMeat #Goat #Barbecue #reel #InstagramInstagramReal#Delicious #Delicacy #Yum #food

  3. Nice biscuits are such a treat. Make these perfect snacks for the kids with me. - 1/2 cup butter - 1/2 cup brown sugar ( you can use less if you don’t like your cookies too sweet) - 1 tsp vanilla essence - 1/4 cup milk - 1 1/2 cups flour - 4 teaspoons desiccated coconut - pinch salt - 1/2 tsp baking powder * set cookies in the fridge for 30 minutes and bake at 180° until they brown #nice #NiceCookies #Cookies #Foodie #Snack #Instareel #Instagram #InstagramRecipe #Instagramreels #Reel #Recipe #Butter #Coconut #BakingEasyBaking

  3. Tumbukiza for me feels like home food – simple but full of love❤️ It’s that one pot meal where you just throw in meat, greens and let it cook slowly. The steam, the smell, the waiting… it always reminds me of family because it’s not fancy, but when you eat it, you feel full, warm, and cared for. It’s the kind of food that gathers people around and makes you slow down a bit. What I used - Ossubucoo Beef Salt ,Ginger, Tomatoes, Bell p, Onions Beef cubes Spinach What would you serve this with?? #Tumbukiza#ossobuco#Kenyanrecipes#Beef#Beefsoup#Fyp#ShirleysKitchen

  3. Home Alone kind of Sunday... The boys went swimming with their awesome Aunt @nyambura_karinga Fatigue has the better of Njoki and myself, so rest we must! Thank God for instant noodles though 🙌🙌🙌 Also found 4 uncooked chicken wings in the freezer, and some grated Mozzarella cheese in an old ice cream container... How this happened, I will never know 🤣 But these made the perfect quick fix this lazy Sunday. #noodles #chicken #wings #chickenwings #cheese

  1. We love an affordable day plan here! 💃🏽 📍: @paradisegardens_ke Entry Fee: Ksh.500 per person P.S: There’s no restaurant or bar at the venue so go prepared.

  2. 📍: @josephinecaribbean located at Gigiri Craft Center. The food was so good and so much we had enough to carry home. We had a platter of two. The platter included: • Pumpkin Soup with croutons • Platter with 4 meats and 6 accompaniments. • 2 mocktails (ksh.500 extra to make both of them alcoholic) • Dessert (ice cream, cake & a tot of rum) . . . Also three cheers to my first voice over! 💃🏽 It’s so cringe listening to my own voice though 😬

  3. 📍: @mugumo.cottage in Thika This space was so stunning! Everything was PERFECT. . . The house sleeps 6, at a fee of 300dollars per day (converted with current rate) but can host many more, at an extra fee. Experience was 10/10. ☺️
