Suitable for all seasons

This is a delicious topping for bread, rice cakes and more

Grilled Pepper and Olive Relish

This is a delightful little salad/relish, perfect as a sandwich topping or as relish with grilled food. It is a nice alternative to the usual salad.

A lovely home made mango chutney

Mango Chutney

I love mango chutney but the ones you buy from your local supermarket are very often packed with additives, sugar and rubbish. I would never eat such a thing.

A lighter mayonnaise without all the rubbish

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise which you can buy from your local supermarket is usually absolutely packed with additives and bad stuff.

A light and healthy hummus, a little different to the traditional one

Courgette Hummus

This is a similar recipe to the one I found in the wonderful book Rawvolution by Matt Amsden.

This is such a healthy jam and I absolutely love it

Spicy Blueberry Jam

This is more of a thick sauce than a jam as I don't use gelatin or other thickening agents. You can make it thicker by using pectin.

A fairly unusual side dish but absolutely delicious

Coconut and Garlic Chutney from Tanzania

Well his recipe is tsort of not FROM Tanzania because this was served in an Indian restaurant IN Tanzania.

A very African dish, low cost, but satisfying and simple

Irio (Mashed Potatoes with Onion and Peas)

I have had Irio on many occasions when travelling through Kenya. It is originally a dish of the Kikuyu people.

This sauce is on the richer side so use sparingly

Peanut Sauce from Uganda

I remember tasting a very similar sauce in Uganda one time. It was served with potatoes and barbecued goat and beef.

I love, love, love quacamole

Guacamole

I don't understand how people can buy guacamole in a jar.

An excellent barbecue sauce I first tasted in Kenya

Abdalla Hamisi's Barbecue Sauce

In 2006 we were on one of our trips to Kenya as tour guides and we stayed in private cottages run by friends, down by Diani beach, Mombasa.
