Food for Thought: A Taste of Zimbabwe with Evelyne 🇿🇼

Food, Friendship & Sharing Home

“I cannot be home, so let me share home with those around me.”

For our next Food for Thought, we’re heading to Zimbabwe through food, stories and the simple tradition of gathering around one shared plate. Our guest cook, Evelyne, moved from Zimbabwe to Penzance in December 2022. While Cornwall is now home, food remains an important connection to the country and culture she came from.

For this session, she’ll be preparing a popular Zimbabwean mixed-meat dish commonly enjoyed in urban areas, particularly among friends and co-workers.

Different meats are fried together with tomatoes and shredded leafy vegetables and served with sadza, a staple food in Zimbabwe. But what makes this meal special isn't only what's in it; it's how it's eaten.
