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.

You can customize your meals by asking for wine pairings, or have your dishes in one of three portions - tapa, entree, or family size. This place is phenomenal and a Capitol Hill gem. The presentation looks like artwork and this is reflected in the taste as well. If you are looking to treat yourself or for an upscale eating experience take a trip.
