AKIU’s Top 7 Warm Hearty Soups And Stews

January 19, 2016 ~ Sophie ~ 10 Comments

Last week, I (for the first time in a really long time) read the newspaper for a particular day. It mostly comprised of the issues surrounding the upcoming elections. There was one article that grabbed my attention though. It was about how the weather has completely changed thanks to the El Nino effect. I was prepared to get dusted since January is generally known to be a dusty month. But now that the days are met with half gloom/fog and half rain, it is time to get cozy. Right? Here are seven soups and stews that will add warmth to your mornings and even whole days!

Smoky Eggplant Permesan Meatballs in Homemade Sauce

Creamy Pumpkin Soup

Creamy Potato Soup

And this hearty Katogo too!

Usually I prepare the soups in the night and then warm them up in the morning. Hoe you get warmer with these.

Also, I have received tremendous response from you regarding the free e-book I gave out a few months ago. Over 115 downloads have happened. Thank you. If you haven’t got a chance to get a copy for yourself, please do so before I take it down (in a few weeks’ time).

Easy Sautéed Mukene

November 24, 2015April 23, 2019 ~ Sophie ~ 9 Comments

I finally got to share a mukene recipe. Mukene is so versatile it is a kitchen staple in our house. Mukene has gotten a bad name for the longest time and I was part of the craze. Firstly because of the fishy smell, secondly, the tiny bones that may or may not pierce you when you eat and thirdly, the bitter heads. All this is enough to make someone avoid mukene altogether. And I did for most of my child and teenage hood because ‘why cannot we just have real fish?’ was my constant argument. I realized though that it is a matter of perspective. As smelly as it is, mukene is filled with flavor on its own it doesn’t need a lot of ingredients. Plus after reading about its awesomeness here and here, you will be convinced to try it.
