Welcome to Mirecipe.com. “Mi” stands for Miriam. 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!!!)

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), one of the most peaceful countries in Africa. 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.

I live in America, and this is a way for me to make myself feel closer to home. You are welcome to send any recipes if you wish. Also note that, Western recipes on this site are simple and use ingredients that can easily be found in Tanzania. Enjoy.
