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.

Mar 16 Zimbabwean Pepper Steak Meat Pies

Zimbabwean, African-Inspired

Meat pies come in all shapes and sizes, but one of my favourites is the handheld pepper steak pie.

These pies are often paired with a bottle of Fanta or Coca Cola, an on-the-go snack enjoyed by many Zimbabweans and Southern Africans in general. They are heart-warming, full of flavour, with the perfect kick from the ground peppercorns. This was my attempt to recreate something I grew up eating and will always love, hope you will enjoy them too.
