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 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!
