YARD VYBZ. JERK CHICKEN MEAL KIT 🇯🇲 newly la

YARD VYBZ. JERK CHICKEN MEAL KIT 🇯🇲 newly launched meal kit from @artelsfood

I made jerk chicken, Mac n cheese, rice & peas, coleslaw, plantain and jerk corn ribs (from cobs). The kit also included 2 cans of drinks which I think are randomly selected.

This kit was super simple to cook as a lot of the kit came pre-prepared so minimal prep was required minus the plantain & corn ribs which I decided to make instead of boiling the corn.

@artelsfood jerk was tasty & packed spice but it's difficult to replicate the smokiness when not cooked on a drum pan, the rice & peas were surprisingly good & fluffy despite the look in the packaging.

The sides of fresh plantain which I cooked came at perfect ripeness (for my liking), the mac n cheese was creamy but could be a little cheesier under the topping & coleslaw is coleslaw!

The recipe/instructions were quite loose (as Jamaican cooking usually is), so a few steps/measurements could be added to make it a little clearer however everything was packaged snug in the box and air vacuumed bags kept everything in top shape.

For the corn ribs, I cut the cobs into 4 then brushed on a mix of olive oil, paprika, dry jerk seasoning, garlic powder & black pepper then oven baked for 35mins. I then mixed the jerk bbq sauce & jerk Mayo to create a sauce to garnish. Highly recommend this.

Delivery was made in person so there were no icepacks included in the box but everything remained chilled on arrival.

The combination of flavours in this box really slap and it's SO easy to prepare. @artelsfood offer a London service with delivery on Thursdays when you order by midnight the Tuesday before.

ETHIOPIAN COMFORT FOOD🌱🇪🇹 vegan 5-stew co

ETHIOPIAN COMFORT FOOD🌱🇪🇹 vegan 5-stew combo by the ladies over at @fikrekitchen

A couple of weekends ago we visited @bethefuture_market and tried @fikrekitchen for the second time (the first time we were too hungry to take pics😂)

I went for the 5-stew combo (£7.50) which included the following 5 stews with either injera (savoury pancake/flatbread) or rice, of course, I went for the injera. We rank the 5 stews in the following order:
🥇 Shiro - roasted & grounded chickpeas
🥈 Misir - red lentils & spicy berbere
🥉 Fosolia - green beans & carrots & potato
🏅 Kik - yellow split peas & turmeric
🏅Gomen - spinach & collard greens

Having tried Ethiopian food half a dozen times now I usually just go for the vegan option (@fikrekitchen only offer vegan) as the flavours are always deep and meat isn’t missed.

The meal was super filling and having a variety of items in one dish is what I love and wouldn’t hesitate to eat at @fikrekitchen for a third time. The chilli sauce also added a nice kick if you’re a fan of heat🔥

My only criticism is to say is the food could be a little warmer, however when the lines are always long I’m sure the covers don’t get a chance to stay on the food often😅

@fikrekitchen pop up at a variety of markets but this weekend is their first Sunday back open at their regular location @chatsworthroadmarket in Hackney. You’ll wanna get there early as these girls always sell out before close.

MUST TRY TRINI EATS🇹🇹 a grab n go bite from

MUST TRY TRINI EATS🇹🇹 a grab n go bite from the infamous Trinidadian takeout @rotistopltd

So we were really craving roti & had to go visit the OGs of roti in London, @rotistopltd

We grabbed an array of things including boneless lamb roti, doubles, patties, peanut cake & a variety of drinks.

Now what we went for - the roti, this filling has clearly been cooked for a long period of time as the meat is so tender and the flavours combined wrapped up in this soft roti blanket were incredible😍 a must-try, they have a variety of meat & vege fillings available.

The doubles which are one of my favourite vegan street foods included curry chickpea on fried baras (bread) topped with chutney & hot sauce, here they make it more like a sandwich of the two baras rather than side by side.

The patties were super flaky which we love but could have done with a little more filling towards the edge but still a solid choice.

Onto the drinks, at £5 a bottle they’re pretty steep (IMO) but of course homemade, the sorrel was really nice and one of my favourite drinks however I wasn’t a fan of the vegan peanut punch.

Dessert: peanut cake, this was SO good, the ginger & sugar binds the peanuts together and is so moreish! I should have bought a few of these to keep at home, must try.

Also thank you to the brother at @caribtwist for randomly gifting me a bottle of his seamoss alkaline drink while he was restocking @rotistopltd

This family-run “hole in the wall” type takeaway is all based on the flavours, they don’t need all the frills. The lady who served us was friendly & very amused by us requesting to take photos😂

@rotistopltd is deffo a spot to try out Trinidadian dishes like doubles & roti and is vegan friendly as well.

EAST AFRICAN GOODNESS🌱🇪🇹🇪🇷 A visit

EAST AFRICAN GOODNESS🌱🇪🇹🇪🇷 A visit to Greenwich Market’s @addistaste for a tasty vegan combo!

On Monday we visited @greenwichmarket and checked out 2 black-owned vendors, one being @addistaste - the other will be revealed shortly 😉

I went for the vegan meal deal which included the bowl of stews with either injera (savoury pancake/flatbread) or rice, I went for the injera. As well as 3 lentil-filled sambosas which are quite similar to Asian samosas.

My @addistaste bowl was packed with two types of spiced lentils, spicy chickpeas and mixed vegetables it was the combination of flavours for me and it was SO filling. The sambosas added a nice light crunch and variation of texture as everything else was quite similar.

All this came to only £7 too and I was stuffed after so I highly recommend this place. I did consider returning to grab some more of their sambosas (5 for £2) but the line was long🥲

⁣⁣@addistaste also have a shop in Peckham if you’re not feeling the journey to Greenwich. Deffo one to check out & light on the pocket!

EASTER FRIDAY FISH FRIDAY🐟🇳🇬 Throwing it

EASTER FRIDAY FISH FRIDAY🐟🇳🇬

Throwing it back to a pre-lockdown visit to @805restaurants for some authentic West African cuisine.

We had the signature Monika fish, yes Monika😂 this came with a side of fried yam & side salad.

The Monika was a whole grilled fish in a spicy chilli sauce, the fish was so fresh and succulent it just melted away from the bone, thank god as I hate removing bones from fish.

The side of yam fries brought some substance to the meal and went perfectly with the side of chilli sauce/oil which left my lips tingling😂

We washed it down with a Chapmans which was refreshing with ice🍷🧊

@805restaurants is a nice setting and tastefully decorated which I feel makes it better for dinner time dining’s as when I went at lunchtime there wasn’t much of a vibe.

@805restaurants have a few locations across London so I’ll be checking out the setting at the others and trying some more Naija dishes.

A TASTE OF ACCRA IN LONDON 🇬🇭 So you guys h

A TASTE OF ACCRA IN LONDON 🇬🇭

So you guys have been asking us to review Ghanaian cuisine, so here you have @sweethandz which we ordered on @ubereats_uk

The main dish we had was jollof rice with spicy lamb chops, the Jollof was flavourful but I was expecting it to have a bit more spice, thankfully the lamb chops had plenty of heat to balance it out.

The flavour of the lamb chops and all the peppers, onions etc was top tier however the chops themselves lacked in the meat to bone/fat ratio, we would have added suya on the side if we had known.

The plantain was sweet which we love and added a nice difference in flavour and texture to the meal along with the crispy fried yam/chips.

The tomato stew was much needed and we soaked the jollof rice in it 😍 we also ordered shito (pepper sauce) however we weren’t keen as it was more fishy than spicy. They also threw in a free side salad which was a nice surprise.

We of course had to wash it down with a Ghanaian Fanta, you already know this banged. Foreign Fanta always tastes better than the dead UK Fanta🥴

Overall it was a good experience & I'm keen to try other Ghanaian dishes.

Have you tried Ghanaian food? Let us know what dishes we should try next!

UK’S 1ST CARIBBEAN MEAL KIT DELIVERY🌴 Throwi

UK’S 1ST CARIBBEAN MEAL KIT DELIVERY🌴

Throwing it back to the Valentine’s Day meal kit box we tried out! Goodbye HelloFresh & Welcome @one_box_meals

We prepared jerk chicken, sweet potato fries & coleslaw with a starter of rum & garlic prawns. In the kit, we had rum punch pouches, @candiecakez brownies & @definitechocolate chocolate🍫

We loved the homemade jerk rub as it had an authentic recipe that reminded us of Boston, Jamaica (if you know you know). The smell alone when opening the container took us on a journey🛫🇯🇲

The Rum Punch was so elite we ending up drinking before taking pics (oops!)🍹🤪 we also made a dip for the fries mixing Dunn’s River hot pepper sauce with mayo.

The kit came with easy to follow instructions along with pictures to guide as well as pre-measured portions of all the necessary ingredients which made putting this tasty meal together super easy.

This was also our first experience of receiving a chilled delivery (courier with 1hr slot via @official.dpd.uk ). Everything was packaged securely along with ice packs & insulation to ensure everything arrived at the necessary temperatures.

@one_box_meals offer both subscription services and one-off boxes with delivery days twice per week with a number of dishes such as Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas, Oxtail, Curry Goat, Ackee and Saltfish and many more.

They also currently have an Easter menu🐰 check them out!
