How to Create an Avocado Garnish Here's How to Impress with Every Plate


Avocados aren't just delicious, they're also perfect for creating stunning garnishes that elevate your dish visually and nutritionally. Whether you're aiming for an avocado fan, avocado rose, or elegant slices, this guide will walk you through easy, step-by-step techniques to turn a ripe avocado into edible art. For me, Avocados are life! Since they are seasonal fruits, I always look forward to their arrival with bated breath, like my life depended on me getting the avocado. I live, live for the days when I can have my hands on avocados so that I can eat them as fruits, desserts, or even the main meal. How awesomely delicious is guacamole that you can eat with this delicious Kenyan style nyama choma without the guilt? It is said that people first eat their food by sight. How food is presented really matters, especially to us foodies who sometimes get too clinically obsessed when it comes to food pairings and presentations. One of the best ways to present interesting and delicious-looking food is by garnishes. Garnishing food just gives it that much more EXTRA vibe! Food should never be boring.

Bright, Refreshing, and Naturally Sweet Blueberry Sorbet


When the sun is blazing and you’re craving something icy and sweet without the guilt, this homemade blueberry sorbet is your go-to treat. Bursting with antioxidant-rich blueberries and made with just a handful of natural ingredients, this sorbet is not only easy to prepare but also dairy-free and absolutely refreshing. It’s the perfect way to showcase summer berries at their best! I love yoghurt, and if I could take it every day I really would. And what better way to make yoghurt even more delicious, not that it needs any more deliciousness. I've always wanted to try making frozen yoghurt, and even though it is still cold here in Nairobi, I can't help in indulge in one or two frozen treats. That's how far my love for frozen treats goes, I would eat ice cream while it is raining! I made homemade cookies and cream ice cream, my all-time favorite ice cream flavor!

Sticky, Sweet, and Savory Balsamic Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs


If you're looking for a quick dinner that feels gourmet, these Balsamic Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs are exactly what you need. Perfectly seared chicken thighs are coated in a rich, glossy glaze made with balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, and herbs. The result? Tender meat with a sweet-tangy finish that caramelizes beautifully. Serve them with rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad for a delicious, balanced meal. To say that I love chicken is an understatement! Chicken is THE dish that I would eat every day if I could! Fried, baked, stewed, boiled, curried, so many options to choose from. As you can see, I have a few chicken recipes on Nairobi Kitchen. I made this Indian chicken dish that was a total hit with everyone.
