With their MTV EMA Best African Act award bagged, Sauti Sol is very much the band of the moment. It was with this in mind that we decided to invite them over for a Yummy Christmas dinner. Somehow they got the wrong end of the stick
and thought they were the ones meant to be cooking US dinner.
Much hilarity and some great behind the scenes pictures ensued. Enjoy it all in our main feature, Rock Star Kitchen.
In our Producer to Plate section, we detail what it took to get Kenya’s most-beloved Christmas dinner guest, the mbuzi, from the goat market at Kiamaiko to a Cookswell oven and then onto our plates for the Yummy Office Christmas party.
Our Holiday section includes a guide to the booziest bars to enjoy this Holiday season. Whether you’re in the mood for after-work cocktails with your co-workers or looking for a more chic evening sipping wine and champagne with your friends or significant other, take a look at our extensive guide and get your party personality on!
Apropos of Champagne, our guest writer Peter Tilly reveals what is likely more than you knew there was to know about this quintessential festive drink.
Hard-booze lover Jackson Biko gets on the bandwagon as he too bows to the boss of all holiday drinks, the Bubbly.
Wine Chick Agnes Peillet reveals a boozy way to short-circuit the physical effects of that fancy schmancy drink thanks to some (literally) half-baked beauty remedies.
While our health-conscious Wellness columnist Amy Selbach gives us tips to avoid holiday induced muffin tops by keeping anything that resembles them or the sugary cocktails well away from your mouths, our food experimenter Charity Keita let’s us in on what she packs in her suitcases to spice up a coastal outing in the kitchen and under the stars.
Oh and before I forget: please, Dear Reader, look out for the Yummy card advert. We’ve been working on the Yummy card for a really long time, getting some of the best restaurants to sign up to offer you awesome discounts, and now we finally get to share it! It’s just a small, black, credit card-like piece of plastic with the Yummy logo and your name engraved on it that gets you discounts at restaurants every day. So go ahead, sign up for it for free (that’s right – I said free) by logging on to: yummy.co.ke/card.
It’s a win-win! You get special offers, VIP invitations to foodie events and 10 to 15% off of your meals. And us? We’ll go into the holidays with a smile on our faces!
Happy Holidays Folks!
