Ramadan Kareem to you all! I’m super-excited to share my annual Ramadan recipe with you this year. East met West again in this apple and dried fruit cobbler with its warm Middle Eastern flavors and absolutely delectable taste. With the sugar crisis still going in Egypt, I wanted to think of a different way to…
Valentine’s Soufflé with Rose Red Wine Reduction
I probably say this every year: No matter what I try to do during the Valentine season, the clichés are simply unavoidable. Whether it is the heart-shaped cake mold, the red roses or pink and red confetti hearts; it’s all part of the standard, romantic expression of love. So, let’s lean into the clichés one…
Vertical Yulelog – Christmas Recipe
It’s not a very Merry Christmas this year; not with the genocide in Gaza and all the other sadness in other parts of the world. Even when I was shooting this cake, I noticed that I was unable to use any bright or colorful props. I hope there will be enough love and mercy to…
Black Vampire Muffins
With that’s happening in Palestine at the moment, no body is in the mood to celebrate Halloween this year. But every now and then we owe ourselves just a little breather from all the heartbreak and pain. This recipe came in much later than I had intended but you can still enjoy making it for…
Earl Grey Tea Cake with Honey
So, it’s been a while… I believe that something happens to me in some seasonal way around this time every year. Apart from my allergies and the fact that I have been struggling to create new content, I am fine 🙂 Speaking of allergies, this recipe contains a cinnamon & vanilla infused honey, which is…
Ramadan Yameesh Blondies – Recipe
Ramadan Kareem everyone! 🌙 First of all, I must say that I am finally relieved to see less chocolate ruining the classic Middle Eastern flavor profile of Ramadan desserts this year. In the light of that honor, here’s my recipe for Ramadan themed blondies. I added some ghee and semolina to the traditional blondie ingredients…
Pesto Alla Genovese – Recipe
It has been quite a while since I’ve last written anything here, but there was a lot going on since the Christmas holidays and sadly, one of the main catalysts behind this blog has passed away 41 days ago. He was always whipping my ass to write consistently to you all and not to forget…
Quick Yaki Udon
There was a time when I had the time to knead my very own Udon noodles at home, from scratch. It requires quite a bit of elbow grease despite the simple list of just three ingredients. Yaki Udon literally means ‘grilled udon noodles’, so the recipe is pretty flexible and you can use whatever vegetables…
Pumpkin Pudding with Pecan Pralines
October is undoubtedly the month of pumpkin celebrations. In addition to a fine touch of cinnamon and other warm spices, pumpkin recipes can transport you to a cozy dimension of autumn or fall, whichever floats your boat. This year I am excited to share with you a recipe that brings pumpkin to one of my…
Sugar-free Cherry Cola Pie – Recipe
A couple of months ago I was in Cyprus attending a family wedding and while I vowed myself no to never fill up my gastro-cavity with Mc Donald’s while I am traveling abroad, I am but a mere human being and sometimes I get weak. Mc Donald’s in Cyprus had some funky offer on a…
Okra Salad – Recipe
Most Egyptians would never imagine that okra is popular in Japan. The common way of eating okra in the Middle East is usually as a part of a tomatoey, saucy stew; which completely removes the slimy element from the vegetable. I always thought that Middle Eastern people would not be too fond of the slime…
Pavlova with Dark Chocolate and Caramelized Banana – Recipe
This one was a pretty happy accident to be honest. I’ve been wanting to shoot a Pavlova for quite some time now and since I don’t work much with chocolate (because I don’t really like it.. 😅) I thought of stepping out of the comfort zone again and create something with high contrast in both…
