Most of my cooking/baking seems to result in having something leftover that I need to use. Which is perfectly fine, in fact, it’s great! No wasted products as I hate having to buy something for a recipe and then throw away the reminder. My eggplant involtini desire resulted from having leftover ricotta. Ricotta … More Eggplant involtini
Tomato bruschetta is a great side/appetiser to have in a meal. Whether it’s at home or out, it’s fresh, simple and delicious. Some of the best dishes only have a few ingredients to them, and tomato bruschetta is one of them. When I had my friends over for the lasagna meal, I thought the bruschetta … More Tomato bruschetta
I love a good lasagna and every place seems to make it differently! It’s also really hard to find a really good lasagna when you go out to eat, so the best answer to this predicament is to make it at home! Some think that making lasagna is difficult, but it really isn’t – it … More Lasagna
Turning condensed milk into dulce de leche is so easy, just takes time and some watching over. Take a can of condensed milk. I like to do more than one can at a time as it stays in the fridge for a couple of months. Peel off the label from the can and put it … More Ducle de leche
Since it’s Ramadan now, I typically like to have some friends over for an Iftar and with these friends I have to make lasagna. They’ve been on my case for a year to make them lasagna again and I’ve been useless in actually doing this. I guess it is time now. Anyways, totally a tangent, … More Chocolate chip brownies
If it hasn’t been obvious in my previous posts, let me just reiterate that I love cheese and could eat cheese in any form every single day. Unfortunately, people tell me that this isn’t very healthy – sounds like some sort of conspiracy against cheese in my opinion. I had some leftover feta cheese from … More Feta Dip
I’ve always wanted to make a chocolate tart, but honestly, I had been scared of making the pastry required for the base. I’m not sure why, but making pastry has always seemed difficult. The time required, the kneading, the rolling, the making sure it’s perfect to it cooks (and also the dried beans/pie weights needed?! … More Chocolate Caramel Tart
When I was hosting some friends over for the afternoon tea, I had already thought of having the scones and the chocolate tart. I needed more food! Growing up it was always important to make sure that there was enough food to feed all your guests and more. Always more than less. Since it wasn’t … More Mini quiches
So obviously I stated I like easy recipes, easy and delicious. This one is pretty much the epitome of easy and delicious. Before making my scones, I went on a hunt (telephone hunt) to see if I could find clotted cream in Dubai. I failed, I couldn’t find it! What was I supposed to eat … More Garlic and Rosemary Butter
This is my actual favourite dessert to make (and eat) – it upholds my three requirements to be simple, easy and delicious. Generally, when I make dessert, I don’t tend to eat much of it, but Hello Dollies, I will keep these all to myself. I’ve been making Hello Dollies for years now, I … More Hello Dollies
