THE SKINNY CHEF
DIARIES
PG 1
In March 2020, during the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, Roderick Chikapa-Phiri armed himself with a pen and a camera, and took up a new mission.
He aimed to recreate the classical dishes he loved, but with a focus on health and wellness. This endeavor was inspired by a chance encounter with a young lady named Grace, in 2018.
Grace, an aspiring chef, battled with sickle cell anemia, and her resilience and passion for cooking despite her health battles left a lasting impression on Roderick.
The outcome of his culinary adventure is held in these pages: a remarkable collection of delicious and nutritious recipes that cater to a wide range of dietary needs and fitness goals.
Let me take you on a journey to discover who I am. I am Roderick Chikapa-Phiri, the youngest of six siblings. Our eldest, Madalitso(meaning "a blessing" in Chichewa), passed away on December 1,1994.May his soul rest in eternal peace. My parents, Roderick Sr. and Margaret Linda Chikapa-Phiri, hail from Malawi but relocated to Zimbabwe, where I was born. Their adventurous spirit, having lived in the States and Europe, definitely rubbed off on me...
