Hello! Welcome to dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting the website! I'm Maxine, blogger, home cook, soon to be food entrepreneur, and lover of all things food and fusion cuisine (a style of cooking that combines ingredients and methods from different countries, regions, or cultures). My approach is primarily rooted in both a Zimbabwean and American perspective based on my life experiences, making it quite varied. I hope you find the website helpful and come back! There is something for everyone, and recipes are designed to inspire you to try something new.

Berbere Spice

Berbere Spice

African-Inspired

This is an easy homemade berbere spice blend you can use in a variety of recipes.

Berbere is central to Ethiopian dishes and adds a unique, depth of flavour. You can use the seasoning on roasted vegetables, in soups, stews, and even in desserts. I have an oatmeal recipe that uses the spice blend here. 

As I have said before African cuisine doesn’t have to be complicated! You can also borrow some elements of it. This recipe a staple I recommend always keeping at home!
