Hey Blantyre!! Who is up for some cooking lessons this holiday?!! Lessons coming up next week!! Check out the 5 lesson plan guide below and register your interest via WhatsApp on +265996205197/+265888205207 or +265888799507! Ciao!

P.S. One free lesson for the first 2 people who can guess the name of the 5th dish below! The only hint I'll give is that, it's not a meatball! 🙈🙈😂 😂 2 efforts per person. 😅 😅

Repost alert!! Kinda forgot to add the snaps to the last post 😅😅😅😅.. Whoops

The look on your face (😒😒😒) when you're walking past a "gourmet" restaurant and they are charging K15,000 for 2 pizzas and you know that with that dosh, you can buy ingredients for 2 huge pizzas, 15 jumbo kebabs, 10 chicken wings AND 8 pancakes with that strawberry and citrus filling and sauce (hmmmmm... yum) and still get that 1gb weekly bundle... 😅 😅

Would I be wrong to say that with that sort pricing, some restaurants should change their names and be called "Not For The Locals Bar & Grill" instead 😂😂😂😂..

Anyways, when starting the lessons, Helena asked if she could learn how to make pizza because it was something she had longed to try and she was intimidated by it, so we made a deal..

The deal was that if she reached a level bwana was happy with at the end of the lessons (which she did), I would convince her to have a fun lesson of pizzas, kebabs, wings and pancakes so we could end with a bang!

So she did her thing, and while doing the lesson she even said "kodi ndizomwezi basi? 😕😑 konseko, kuwona ma pisza mutown mapangidwe ake ndiomweyo basi? Ooohhoo anthu akwathu ndi abwana anga akale andifila pa whassup pano!"

in my head I was like 😨😨 "ohhh my word!! I've created a cooking monster!! She's alive!! Alive I tell ya!! Yessss🎆🎆" lol!! 😂 😂 😂

Moral of the story is, save bucks, do it at home and stay winning!!

Here we have the case of Max. Though experienced and adept at the basics, the challenges he had were with how to enhance what he already knew, how to broaden his skills and how to use better combination of herbs & spices.

Through a series of lessons created together with the client, Max improved so much over the course of a 5 day training, that he began being more confident, especially with the new cooking techniques available in his arsenal.

The client wanted Max to learn starters/snacks, mains & desserts and he got on very well. At the end of it all, he got 15 experiential new recipes, dozens more in the cookbook, the Trust of bwana in the kitchen and equally as important, a sense of pride in his craft!!

With that said, the advice now is simple... "Keep calm & get cooking with Chi"

Call/WhatsApp any of these numbers;0888205207, 0888799507 & 0996205197

Meet Helena.. From Nanny to Chef de Cuisine! From asking "izi ndi chani?" when looking at herbs & spices, to asking "chef, do u want the herbs minced or chiffonade". Ok, she doesn't say chiffonade and she isn't a chef de Cuisine but you catch the drift.. 😅 😅 😅. She looks & feels confident in the kitchen and it resonates in her cooking!

To narrate her full transition would take up too much space, but you can trust that the woman smiling in the photos below, is doing so because her perception of her cooking went from self doubt or the "sindingakwanitse syndrome", to one with multiple options. Not just at work but personally as well!

So the deal here is simple really.. 😅 😅 You can continue to have wandering eyes, forget whatever it is you learn elsewhere and hurt your pockets, deal 1; or, you can be like Helena and get Cooking with Chi, maximise your skills and options and save loads, deal 2.

Yooooh! 😨😨 To say "long time" would be a understatement eti 😅 😅 😅.. Well, to be honest, it wasn't a planned absentia à la Machiavelli. It's more about the fact that when The Most High has got different plans, who are we to do otherwise 😅?

Anyways, with that being said, we aren't just here to shout out 📢📢 the good news of our return but to also offer you one of THE BEST value for money service out here in MW.

You were probably wondering why we hadnt talked about the seafood special in the last photo eti? We think, just like the last nibble dish had its own platter to shine on... OOPPS!!, i meant platform, i was thinking that this one deserves its space to shine as well..

A malawi, ndikudzwiwa kuti muma konda zinthu za'mdazi eti? then why dont you and your guests try this starter for size...

A salad consisting of Poached Prawns on a bed of Smoked Salmon and Mango and Lime Vinaigrette Salad... Just think about that for second.. or two.

So, what if we told you you could have really awesome nibbles at your function that would be potatoes, beef and lettuce what would you think? You would most probably think am talking about ka mbali ka chips a K150 ndi ma piece awili a steak ndi ka salad a pachiwaya eti? LMAO!! No, we're not talking about that type of nibble, we are talking about these.......

Stuffed Taters with chives (potato) and lettuce and teriyaki beef cups.. Dont lie that sounds tasty! And trust us they are!

New month, new food right? Right!! I think we Malawians, old or young. hip and maybe not so hip (lol) should give ourselves something that is not part of the norm. Lets treat ourselves. Lets dare to be different!! Lets dare to expirement! Dare to try the Gwaz experience!!

What are these scrumptious nibbles you ask? On hand we have a mixed fruit and veg, vegetarian Bonaza!! and on the other a Humdinger!! I repeat, A Humdinger!! of meat treat! 😤

P.S. We NEVER download our pics. these are 100% Gwaz..

Ok, lets be honest, we have not been the most uhhhhmm what can we say, maybe "present" orrrr maybe "active" on facebook isn't it? Well there are excuses and all but were not about that life. We just ask you to please, please forgive but not forget us... Please!! And thank you very much in advance! lol

The thing is, we have been working on a project which is just about done which was taxing time wise especially when mixing that up with functions etc, but we can now atleast introduce to you all what we were working on...
