THE Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises is preparing to open its new restaurant, Tukuni, tomorrow. Located at the top floor of their head office in Tuvu, Ba, Tukuni is an organic eatery which is focused on the farm-to-table approach. FRIEND director and founder Sashi Kiran said all the meals were freshly made using traditional methods. These included grinding spices by hand on ancient stone implements that were imbued with flavours from rural kitchens and cooked over an open fire or fuel-efficient clay fireplace.
