I am super excited for this herb from @brundospices that just came in today! Cannot wait to play with this wonderful gesho. It's traditionally used to make Tej (Ethiopian honey wine) and Tella (Ethiopian beer), but this lady has different plans for it. You're just gonna have to wait and see. 😉

🇪🇹 The Brundo Spiced Mocha is back at The Caffè from Oct. 26 - Nov. 7, this time served hot for the fall season!

Made in collaboration with Daniel Aderaw Yeshiwas (@yeshiwas_) of @brundospices and @cafecolucci, this Chef Collab combines Ethiopian spices, rich chocolate, and @mrespressooak’s signature Neapolitan Espresso.

The drink begins with Berbere Mocha Mix, where organic cocoa is blended with Brundo’s signature Berbere spice mix, featuring Ethiopian-grown chili, korerima (black cardamom), cinnamon, cloves, and fenugreek. It’s then finished with black vanilla sea salt and a dusting of korerima.

This mocha is rich and aromatic with warmth from the spices and it’s perfect as the weather gets chillier. Come enjoy it while it’s here! ☕️

If a warm blanket could be served in a bowl, it would be this Vegan Chickpea, Mushrooms & Meatballs Stew. It’s the perfect fusion of Ethiopian-inspired spices like Alicha Kimem and Berbere from @brundospices with a cozy, creamy stew base. Imagine tender mushrooms soaking up aromatic garam masala, soft chickpeas adding body, and juicy vegan meatballs bringing hearty satisfaction — all tied together with silky oat milk.

10/10 - full recipes on my substack :)

Obsessed with paratha/roti/chapati and this was on another level with nitter kibbeh from @brundospices spiced Ethiopian clarified butter added so much extra flavor and depth to this dish. Only making my rotis like this from now on!

Coconut milk added a slightly sweet creaminess with the earthy berbere - such a hearty dish, perfect for fall. Not to mention inexpensive! Chickpeas as super affordable and a great plant based protein source.

This was my take on Fassolia- crispy green beans (I used the haricots verts from Trader Joe’s) with carrots and onions, finished w a ton of ginger garlic paste, lemon and fried shallots. Super savory and delicious

Spice School Episode 3: Nitter Kibbeh, or Tesmi , Ethiopian and Eritrean spiced clarified butter

Although similar to Ghee, the main difference is that nitter kibbeh is simmered with a bunch of fragrant and aromatic spices to yield a deep, rich, nutty flavor that adds depth to any dish.

We know fat = flavor, but because of how spiced and flavor our tesmi is, we don’t actually need to add * that * much, a dollop at the end of your dishes will do (better for our heart and our waistline, without sacrificing our tastebuds…)

Favorite commercial kibbeh from @brundospices

From the farm to Mandela Partners to the kitchen at Café Colucci. 🌱

The Oaklandside/East Bay Nosh recently took a deep dive into the economics behind Café Colucci’s delicious Vegan Combo — and in doing so told part of a story that Café Colucci and Mandela Partners have been building together for years.

It’s a relationship that connects local farmers, Mandela Partners, Café Colucci, and ultimately the people sitting around our tables.

Mandela works directly with small-scale local farmers, helping connect their produce to communities, restaurants, and businesses across Oakland and the East Bay. Through our longtime partnership, produce from those farmers makes its way through Mandela’s West Oakland distribution center and into Café Colucci’s kitchen, where it becomes part of dishes like the Vegan Combo.

The article looks at what happens when rising costs, fuel prices, global supply chains, and the realities facing small farms all meet on a single plate - and why relationships like these matter even more when the economics get difficult.

We’re grateful to the farmers who grow our food, to the teams at Mandela Partners and Café Colucci who keep that connection moving, and to East Bay Nosh/The Oaklandside for taking the time to trace the story from its source all the way to the plate.

This one goes deep! It’s worth saving to read later or clicking the link in bio for the full interactive experience.

Thanks to @calliopearkilic for researching and writing this.
