Rose Water and Coconut Basbousa – A Ramadan Classic
Ramadan in the UAE carries a rhythm of its own — golden sunsets, the call to prayer echoing through the
Radish salad with lemon honey vinaigrette
Craving for something light and refreshing for your lunch. Here is a straightforward salad that can serve as a side too. This radish summer salad with lemon honey vinaigrette is a delight. Radish is an underrated vegetable, but it is delicious, and I love it for that sharp taste.
Summer drinks with Mango
Well, anything that has mango is welcome. Desserts, drinks, frozen treats, pickles, etc., the list is endless. The fact that mangoes can combine with other exciting ingredients to create something new makes them the ‘King’ of fruits. It is a staple fruit right now in my fruit basket.
Basics of styling desserts
Desserts are a special part of my life; I love styling as much as eating desserts. There are so many subcategories, such as frozen, baked, traditional, etc. Clubbing all the desserts under one heading and treating them the same way is probably not the best way to deal with this topic.
Three-ingredient healthy PB cookies
When you need some cookies and need them real quick, three-ingredient PB cookies are the answer. I tried to make them healthy with coconut sugar, which is gluten-free. I and kiddo made them during a break while online school was happening. We had fun as it was so simple and easy to make.
Pumpkin and lentil soup
I am partly glad that the winter is short in this part of the world, as my list of cravings for comfort food is endless during winter. I am also happy I crave soups and dal during winter. They are light and keep me full when paired with some bread. Pumpkin and lentil are a great combination. It tastes delicious as a soup with the right amount of heat and spices.
Lemon crepes with berries
The weather is so beautiful right now that I look forward to those mornings when we can enjoy our breakfast on the balcony, soaking in as much sun, relishing on the soft crepes, and sipping on coffee. Delicate crepes with the hint of lemon paired with blueberries make for a brilliant breakfast.
Tips for styling a sandwich
Trust me when I say this, be it burger or sandwich, styling them can always be terrifying. Well, here are a few tips to help you get started.
Orange/Clementine yogurt pancakes
Well, I have always loved citrus flavors in my desserts and breakfast. Oranges and clementines evoke tons of childhood memories, especially during winters. I love the taste and aroma of these fruits. Like me, you will love these mildly sweet and aromatic orange/clementine yogurt pancakes.
Apricot and almond biscotti with chocolate
We have always loved biscotti. I have difficulty choosing my favorite kind of biscotti, but I often prepare this recipe. Almonds and dried apricots are pantry staples and taste delicious together.
Peppermint candy cane cupcakes
There is no better way to celebrate Christmas than sharing good food. These peppermint cupcakes were the perfect treats for a bunch of hard-working employees at a supermarket who are my little one’s pals. My son looks forward to meeting them, and they always bring a smile to his face.
