This is a favorite tradition of my family for leisurely sunday breakfasts. now i never measure it, but since the measurements are ingrained in my mind from years of making them growing up, i’ll include them

his isn’t really an original recipe, but it was a staple on our honeymoon, soo good and simple.T

this dish is as fun to eat as it is to pronounce – you just break off a bit of foo foo and shape it into a ball, then use it to scoop up the jama jama. no utensils allowed, and traditionally everyone eats out of a common pot (hey, less dishes to wash!). however, there are a couple of ingredients that you may have to venture outside of the supermarket to find. Palm oil, an unmistakable bright orange color can be found at some ethnic food markets, as can instant foo foo which may be made out of yams, cassava, or plantains.

if I had to pick an all-time favorite dish, it would probably be this, simply because it was my favorite Cameroonian dish growing up, which my Mom continued to make in the U.S., and it still brings back so many memories. enough nostalgia . . .Peanuts are called groundnuts in Africa

this meal is so simple, we often make it when we’re under sail. the secret is in the homemade tortillas – so good you could eat them plain, and a little beans, cheese, and guacamole is all they need. These are essentially homemade white flour tortillas

apparently no one told the mayans that you can’t combine chocolate, tomatoes, chicken, and hot chiles. it may sound like a strange combination, but this distinctive flavor is phenomenal!

This meal sounds really gormet and complicated, but it’s actually really easy and can all be made in one wok.
