Coconut Milk - Together Women Rise

This month we honor our grantee “For the Good” and their work in rural Kenya where they work to create a world where every girl can go to school. The recipe for this month would be ideal for a breakfast, perhaps not on a school day but as a weekend treat. The cuisine of Kenya is a diverse and interesting amalgam of the many cultural traditions, such as Indian, Arab, Portuguese, British etc. that converged in the trading hubs of the coasts of Kenya.

The Proven Platter – Mali

Hello Diners!

We are off to Mali this month, located in West Africa, in support of the Tandana Foundation. Their Women LEAP program provides literacy and numeracy training, as well as democratic governance and leadership skills.

Often, the program we are supporting will send us recipes that are rooted in their culture. This month we received a very detailed recipe called “Recipe for Toh, (Oro Dja), Traditional Food of the Dogon People,” by Jemima Tembiné. She started learning to cook when she was about 10 years old and has been preparing Toh since she was 15 years old. Near as I can tell, Toh is a dish of millet dough that has been pounded, and served along with different sauces made out of various leaves, dried fish and dried vegetables. Details

The Proven Platter – Making Your Own Coconut Milk

Hello Diners!

We’re off to Tanzania this month. “Prawns in Coconut Sauce” and “Pilau Masala” are headlining the menu. These recipes have been graciously shared with us by Miriam Kinunda, the author of the blog “Taste of Tanzania.” I’ve tested both recipes and I give them the thumbs up. You’ll find many other recipes to choose from on her site, as well as some very good ones on our own Dining for Women recipe site.
