Vampire Vignette (Musazoti Vinaigrette)

Seven Africans were walking down the street in Bucharest with the backdrop of Old Princely Court, Dracula’s home. Nope, that’s not the start of a bad joke. This actually happened just a few weeks ago when we were gathered for the “Unlikely Allies” event at the Impact Hub Network in Romania. 

A Zimbo in Transylvania

Cluj Napoca, Zimbo Jam is in the house, and we love your city. You may be reading this and thinking where the Sekuru Kaguvi is this place, and I felt exactly the same way, until Grandpa Google showed me a map of Romania. 

Harare Greets Nairobi

Nairobi gives one so much time to think because of the insane traffic jams. Not our cute little six-minute Zimbo jams (pun intended) on Kaguvi Street, but real traffic jams where you can do all your work, WhatsApping, and even then have time to catch up on the history of Kenya’s four presidents from garrulous taxi drivers. 

Mimi’s Winter Wonderland in Vumba

Winters for some of us Zimbos are famous for early evenings, thick blankets, hibernation, and never-ending complaints about how we miss the blazing summer temperatures. This winter, I decided to challenge myself and defy all odds to discover the ultimate Zimbabwean winter wonderland. 

Zimbo Jam Visits Hotel Rwanda

Zimbo Jam was recently in Kigali, a city so clean it made this Zimbo author slightly uncomfortable! The entire time I was there, I had a niggling desire to put a piece of litter on the street in order to feel a little more at home. 

Restaurant Week: The Venue Wows With Haute Cuisine

The Venue participated in a one night only event for ZOL Restaurant Week on Saturday, June 5, serving up a haute cuisine menu worthy of a Masterchef final. Although fully booked, the service was excellent, and the great food and wine was enhanced by the ambience of the architecturally stunning Venue.

Restaurant Week: Sizzling Sensations at Pariah State

Who knew Pariah State (Borrowdale) could provide such a chilled setting on a Friday afternoon? Usually a bustling nightclub-like setting, Pariah provided couples, families, and men simply looking for an afternoon drink, a lazy space to chill. Add outstanding food, and you have a winning combination.
