Oh boy! If my 40th birthday didn’t make me feel old enough already, that 8th Mido Eats anniversary sure did. I don’t want to start with the Oscars intro of “It has been an incredible 8 years… Bla, bla, bla..”, because of course they were quite eventful years! The moments of growth and the milestones…

Sorbet Doré – Recipe
This Golden Sorbet is not just pretentious and glamorous, it is actually full immune boosting nutrients and health benefits. Yeah, you don’t really need the edible gold flakes, but I thought: “Why not?!” 💅🏽 The inspiration came from two sources. The first being Lucia Carniel, as this was my entry for #foodluciaproject hosted by Food…
Christmas Pudding Recipe in Egypt
The season of festivities has begun and while I may be the Christmas Grinch of my family, I still enjoy a good Christmas recipe. This pudding is not really a pudding and I have no idea why they call it that. It’s a lot more cake than pudding but it is steamed in a water…
Halloween Pumpkin Bat-chip Cookies with Mint Milk
Halloween is back! This year we are a lot more able to enjoy it than the & deathly Halloween of 2020. I received a lovely gift from Hygiene Egypt this month: Hokkaido Pumpkins! These Japanese pumpkins have a sweet, bright orange flesh. They are rich, creamy and carry vivid notes of chestnut in their flavor….
Ebi Furai.. Fry.. Huray.. Whatever! – Recipe
Maybe we should start by me explaining why Ebi Fry is so much more than fried shrimp. If you’ve ever had it, you would probably have a good idea of why it is so special, but if you ever made it from scratch, then you would totally understand why it has to be appreciated! You…
Ginger Restaurant: So much more than spice!
A couple of nights go I was invited by the lovely Ms. Zeina through a very spontaneous phone call to go and try her new restaurant: Ginger. She had mentioned that it offers Nikkei cuisine, which I have not heard of since the old Izakaya ( in Arkan) and Keji (which was awful). I was…
Easter Blues
It’s Coptic Easter Sunday and while I never understood why there are two (or maybe even three) different Easter Sundays across various Christian denominations, let me just wish for you and your families to have a happy one. This year I came across an egg coloring recipe that uses natural food colors to dye eggs…
Octopus Black Pasta
Before you ask me for a recipe, it’s really just boiled octopus and boiled pasta.. mainly. Today I wanted to give you some behind the scenes insights from the shoot of this dish. It all started with an inspiration from a stunning photo by the amazing Balabotya on Instagram. After seeing her black pasta and…
J&G Steakhouse
I haven’t written about new restaurants in Egypt in a very long time… And it simply due to the fact that I haven’t found something impressive enough to inspire me. J&G at St. Regis Cairo Hotel has not only changed the lack of inspiration but it has also changed an integral part of my palate….
Panettone Persistence
After giving a 3-minute speech in a selfie video on social media about how nothing can stop you from achieving your goals in 2021, I seem to have inspired myself in the process. This year I wanted to bake and photograph a Panettone. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s an…
Christmas Culinary Creations
This Christmas I was aiming to give you all something a little different. I have conceptualized three desserts that (hopefully) capture the spirit of Christmas without being too literal! If you minmize the visual identity of any occasion you will find that it all boils down to just a combination of colors and shapes. The…
I See, Semiramis!
Courtesy of my very generous and lovely friends at Semiramis Intercontinental (a.k.a IC Semiramis), I was invited for two days of pampering with a cozy overnight stay! I believe that there are two real pleasures in life; food and hotel rooms. Let me tell you how IC Semiramis gave me maximum pleasure in less than…
