Punjabi Style ‘Tawa’ Prawns!
I promised you spice and I'm delivering!!! This week, I start by taking the heat right up with these super king size prawns that are doused in glorious Punjabi masala. I love love love this dish and what made it even more amazing, is that we were cooking these on my makeshift little grill in the middle of the Nairobi National Park as the heavens let loose an absolute deluge of rain. It was an absolute comedy - such great fun !! I hope you enjoy this finger licking recipe as much as we did!

Lamb Chops infused in Herb Oil and Citrus Scents
I could of not picked a more perfect lamb chop recipe to share with you this Easter...The weather is blissfully beautiful here in sun drenched Kenya and I'm sharing an all time favourite to celebrate with you..In this recipe I feature one of my favourite infused oils coming out of Mountain Oil, produced here in the heart of Timau at the foothills of Mt Kenya. The Herb Oil is packed to the seams with beautifully scented herbs that are going to work so well with my lamb...thyme..rosemary - you can smell the powerful infusion as you unscrew the lid of the bottle and I can already tell this is a very well preserved and developed oil. I'm excited to cook with this as I know it truly is the real thing and not a oil that has skimped on flavour - simply seen by the quantity of herbs clearly on view in the bottle...Give it a try and let me know how this simply, easy but mouth watering recipe comes out for you! #lambchops #outdoorcooking #grilling #perfectkitchensetting

Harvesting Liquid Oil, Taste Safari Discovering Mountain Oil
What a spectacular, sunny day in Kenya! I've just found out it's so blazing hot as we are going through a five day phase of what is known as the Equinox, a phenomena due to the sun directly positioned over the Equator Line ( forgive me if I'm wrong here - I'm definitely not a Meteorologist - but the current rumour of this incredibly hot weather is coming down to this illuminating fact! )
Apart from that - I'm so excited to release my first article on Artisanal Kenyan Producers. I have handpicked a few suppliers that I have been particularly impressed with, delving into their philosophies and understanding how their products reach us in the market. There are so many incredible food entrepreneurs that are striving to bring us wonderful produce, so keep posted on this blog to see who is being featured over the next few weeks. To keep it all exciting as we do here at Taste Safari, I'm going to bring you a recipe or two using the particular product - so I hope you can seek these out and use them in trying new dishes at home....That's all for today...happy reading and have yourself an absolutely beautiful weekend xxx Sandy

Vanilla custard Cream, Buttery Biscuit Crumb and Double Chocolate Layer Dessert
This recipe was made under twenty minutes and was created as my two little ones pleaded, begged and bribed and almost threatened all sorts of crazies until I made them a treat. Who can resist these little clever, puppy eyed little dealmakers? So this actually has turned into quite an impressive number and I wouldn't be too embarrassed to serve this to a more 'mature' crowd. I doubt even a serious food connieseur is going to have any issues with layers of vanilla cream, buttery crumbly biscuit and a thick lush layers of milk and dark chocolate layers...somehow life just isn't complete with a scoop or slice of some sweet sin!!!! #chocolate#is#the#source#of#happiness #desserts #puddings #sweetandsinful
