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.

For the appetizer I recommend the Korean short rib tacos, the oyster bao buns, and the corn and crab hushpuppies. The fried oyster crunch paired great with the soft bun and the avocado cream inside. The hushpuppies have whole kernels of corn contrasted with the shredded subtle crab meat. For brunch mains the pancakes and French toast are a safe bet and come in generous portions. The pizzas all sound good, but the prosciutto and fig is drool worthy. For dessert, it isn't a long list to go through so just go for the skillet cookie and the key lime pie.
