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.

Try the brussels sprouts, one of the fresh house made pastas dishes, the bruschetta, and or course, some brick oven pizza! I had the Gude Goody which is great for meat lovers. The bruschetta certainly deserves an honorable mention.

If you like a good story behind where you are eating, this place is perfect and adds substance to everything you eat. Take a little visit to this Italian restaurant nestled in Rockville—-previously owned by a 70-year-old woman and now owned by two business partners with backgrounds from Honduras and the Czech Republic.

An amazing appetizer that is a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness from the fresh tomatoes and the balsamic.

Brick oven pizza really does make a difference to how pizza tastes, hence Neapolitan style reigns supreme.
