Tsubvu Fatcooks

Fatcooks are one of my favourite Zimbabwean food creation. They are fast and easy like most food from Zimbabwe. I am not alone because the fatcook recipe is one of the most popular recipes here.

I also love making flavoured fatcooks, I have done pumpkin and chocolate chip fatcooks before. Tsubvu fatcooks were an almost no-brainer. 

I really should not admit to how many I actually ate. Everyone was skeptical but I had to taste what I made and THEY. ARE. SO. GOOD!
