“In eritrea, We share our food and our happiness”

 
 
 
 

Aziza’s Eritrean heritage has always been a big part of who she is. A culture of celebration and togetherness, Aziza was brought up in the warm embrace of Eritrean community, listening to tales of her people, and learning the ropes of cooking from her mum. It was her mother who taught her the magic of food, inviting people over often to share in the flavours. “We share our food and our happiness” she says. It’s the Eritrean way, one that Aziza honours amongst her own children too. Every Friday, she makes popcorn, cake and coffee, lights a traditional charcoal incense, and waits in the living room for her children to come running in, drawn by the warm buttery smell. Together, they laugh, they share, they eat around the small coffee table, before watching a film. To Aziza, this ritual is important, it keeps her connected to her culture and to her family. It makes her happy, and if there is one thing Aziza truly believes, it’s that happiness is meant to be shared.

 
 

  • Aziza’s menu is truly a huge hug on a plate. There’s her mouth-watering Himbasha, a celebratory sweetened bread, finished with nigella and sesame seeds. There’s her Zgni, tender chicken  stewed on the bone in a rich deep red berbere sauce, complete with caremelised onions and hard-boiled eggs. There’s her crispy fried feta and dill filled sambusa served with a fresh zesty chutney, with a hit of green chili! And last but certainly not least, there’s Aziza’s Fatera, sweet fried dough, with a subtle nigella flavour that is an absolute favourite amongst Aziza’s kids - and is sure to be your new favourite too!
