A beautiful morning for a simple yet brilliant recipe using a pot of gold, Natural Flu Booster.
The past few weeks have seen an increase in coughs and flus. The usual home remedies have helped to an extent but I came across a homemade product, Natural Flu Booster which is nothing less than a pot of gold. It can be consumed as is, in tea or added to some porridge. To make it more fun for my family, I decided to add it to my muffin mix and boy was it a straight win!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cake flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 cups mabisi (for extra softness)
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 castor sugar
- 1 and 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon mint essence
- 5 tablespoons Natural Flu Booster
You can place your orders on the following contact line +260964839171 or Ms Lulu Hope Matambo, the brains behind this beautiful recipe.

Hello fam,
One thing I love about African cuisine is how diverse it is infusing everyday ingredients to make tasteful meals. Here is a West African inspired meal using ground beef and my favorite peanut butter, ZAM SPREAD Peanut Butter.
Ingredients
- Ground beef
- Mixed veggies (I used carrots and green beans)
- Finely chopped onions and garlic cloves
- Grated tomatoes
- Chili powder or chili oil (optional but highly recommended)
- Soy sauce and spices to season
Method
Heat up a bit of oil on your saucepan and add the ground beef once hot. Break it and turn it till browned and cooked.
Add salt and spices of choice to your cooked mince and then add onions and garlic till sautéed. Add the soy sauce, the grated tomatoes and combine well till done.
Finally add your mixed vegetables and cook ensuring the vegetables are still firm.
Make a paste with a scoop or two of ZamSpread Peanut Butter and hot water (ratio will vary depending on how much ground beef you are preparing) and add to the ground beef. Mix well. Add your chili and simmer.
Serve with hot spaghetti or noddles.
Happy cooking!

Weekends are for family meals and what better meal than hot nshima, some beef liver and a vegetable that is an undeniable labor of love, katapa (cassava leaves) mixed with the smooth and family favorite, ZamSpread Peanut Butter.
Wash, pound and cook your cassava leaves till done. In a separate pot, fry some tomatoes and onions and add your cooked vegetables after which add a generous portion of ZAM SPREAD Peanut Butter and mix. Serve with some nshima or preferred starch and protein of choice.
What are your weekend favorite meals?

A quick meal idea that’s tasty and most certainly easy to prepare - creamy chicken spaghetti.
You can customize your dish with whatever protein you fancy. I opted to use chicken as a favorite in our household.

Back to school season also means every day is extraordinary 😅 and last week was no exception as the kids had a traditional day with the request to go with traditional food (I still added an all time favorite just in case the morale to eat traditional foods waned away while at school).
What traditional foods have you prepared for your little ones in the past or hope to prepare as the academic year unfolds?
Happy cooking!

A favorite in many homes, is often on the menu at traditional ceremonies, and tastes even better with the smoothest and proudly locally produced peanut butter, ZAM SPREAD Peanut Butter.
Boil your samp (dried and crushed maize grains) until soft and cooked. Add a generous amount of ZamSpread peanut butter with milk or water and add sugar and salt to taste.
Get your ZamSpread Peanut Butter from any Shoprite outlet near you.
