A VERY
MBUZI
CHRISTMAS
The folks here at Yummy will use
any excuse to get around a table
together for a hearty meal
32.
“After all the work I’ve put into this
nyama (meat) I should at least get
a whole leg to myself!” exclaims
Carrey Francis Ronjey, staff writer
at UP Magazine, as he extracts large
pieces of meat from a blistering hot
Cookswell oven.
The occasion is the Yummy
Christmas party and the location is
the magazine’s managing editor’s
house. Despite a tense moment
when the butternut squash was
charred in the Cookswell - an
innovative Kenyan charcoal oven
which is fast becoming popular
in the backyards of our country’s
foodies, the table is set and dinner
will soon be ready
The purpose of the dinner is
twofold: first to celebrate the end
of the working year with a bang.
Second, to better understand the
journey that an important element
of the Kenyan Christmas dinner must
undertake, before in reaches the hot
coals of our barbecues.
