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.

An Arlington gem I hope never goes away. The name reflects the cuisine style - presented as simple food but still somewhat elegant. Try the Monkey Jam cocktail, or the carrot hummus (which comes with a smokey spicy lamb ragu). One of the best dishes? The veal and ricotta meatballs sitting in a bed polenta and cheese. For dessert, the donuts finish everything up nicely!
