About
Welcome to Taste of Tanzania. This site started just for fun June 2004 with the domain name miriammalaquias.com; In 2006 I changed to mirecipe.com (easier name to remember!!!), In July 2009, I decided to give this site a name that fits, A taste of Tanzania
I have never attended culinary school, all this is for the love of Tanzanian food; by day I am a web developer and designer with Masters of Information technology. I started the site about Tanzanian food when I was a home stay mom. I used to entertain guest in my house almost every Saturday and I would prepare only Tanzania dishes for my American friends. I thought it was a good idea to start a web site after a few people started to ask about Tanzanian recipes.
Do you love to eat well and simple? Then you would find those kind of recipes in Tanzania and the East coast of Africa. But where is Tanzania?
Tanzania is located in East Africa (Indian Ocean is on the East). Since Persians visited the coast of East Africa dated as early as 17th century, they introduced many things including spices and some recipes; example, Pilau, Haluwa, samosa, Bagia, etc. Our diet is a mainly African, and a little bit of Indian and Arabic. I hope you will enjoy these simple recipes from Tanzania and a few of my favorate from other countries.
Also note that, Western recipes on this site are simple and use ingredients that can easily be found in Tanzania. Enjoy.

Hi Miriam
I followed a link in my visitor stats today and discovered you – and I’m delighted! What a great resource for Tanzanians (and other homesick Africans!) looking for a taste of home. I’m going to add you to my “Favourite African Blogs” blogroll if you don’t mind?
And I meant to say I *love* your profile picture!
Hi! The recipes here are fanstastic. Thanks for having this site. I just found a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan that I LOVE! The eggplant flavor is like beef, but without the fat and calories. It’s a really nice substitute for meat. Visit my site if you’d like to read more. Thanks again – great site!
Kazi nzuri ila naomba nikushauri ufikirie kuweka on hold domain taste of East Africa! Si unajua EA Block inavyoenda kasi, basi dada yangu jaribu kufikiria hilo! Pia a link between Tourism Industry and EA Federation, who knows may be you will be the main player on culinary staff by that time!
I hope my preparetion will also come up as good as yours. I will attempt this indian food recipe during holidays. I am confused if the frying is supposed to be on high flame or low flame ?
