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.

Hummingbird Cake

Hummingbird Cake

The cake was initially used to promote tourism to the Caribbean. I love food that has a story, but what drew me to exploring the recipe was its likeness to my go-to carrot cake recipe. Also, who doesn’t love pineapples and bananas?  It’s a delicious, moist cake that pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea! Plus, it's easy to make.
