As children, we loved watching grandmother cook in the clay pot, just as others in our little happy village. We would sit on the kitchen floor, eyes glued to her every move, as she added onions, munyu mushelekha and salt, stirred the pot and adjusted the heat by adding firewood to the fire. We loved the sound of the bubbling beans and corn as it cooked. The smell was heavenly. Grandma would often sing hymns while cooking. She would tell stories as we waited for food to cook.
When the food was ready, we would sit on the mat as grandma served in bowls. How scrumptious the food was. Mom, Dad and Grandma would eat in the backyard in a shade under the tree as the children savoured each others company.
As we grew up, a clay pot became more than just a cooking vessel. It was a symbol of the family history, a reminder of grandma's love & dedication to her family and a connection to our cultural heritage. It was a link between the past and the present, a tangible object that held memories and stories. Today, clay pots are heating in the Taji Eats kitchen, cooking not only nyoyo but all of grandma's delicacies, in her original recipes. Our purpose is to remind you of the history and the wonderful moments in grandma created. The clay pot is a treasure in our kitchen.
Enjoy our meals natural, tasteful and healthy cooked and served in clay pots.
Cheers to grandma!
We'd love to hear from you
