I’m typically not one for white chocolate, but when it comes to making fudge, that’s what I usually go for. Not sure why, but I think it has more of a nice fudge-y appeal to it (kind of like caramel as well). I hadn’t made fudge in a few years actually, no reason in particular, … More White Chocolate Oreo Fudge
I know, it has been AGES since I last posted and I really don’t have any excuses for that. I’ve been cooking, I’ve been baking – heck, I even finished a 3 month culinary course in December so surely I would have a lot to say about that! And I do, it was fantastic. It … More Pao de queijo – Brazilian cheese bread
For years (4 years, give or take some months), my friend Alizeh has been asking me to make her monkey bread. She loves it and I had never made it before (or even heard of it before she mentioned it). For whatever reason, I never made it. I suppose since I didn’t know what it … More Monkey Bread
/2 I’m back in Dubai – finally after what seems like ages of traveling to Greece, Pakistan and Rwanda (hard times :P) As soon as I got back, I had the urge to bake something immediately. I had the chance to make some things, as well as learn, when I was in Pakistan, but it … More Chocolate Chip Cookies!
I’ve been wanting to make a galette for a while now – it seems like a good summer time dish that is good for lunch and then subsequent snacking. Galettes are great in that they can be either sweet or savoury. You can also put in almost anything and it works! It’s great to use … More Tomato Galette
I’m into muffins, I’m also into blueberries. I was also told to make blueberry muffins multiple times, so I guess I’ll make them. Muffins are great. Dessert, brekkie, snacks! All day, everyday. Savoury muffins are great to make as well – bit of cheese, sun dried tomatoes, supreme yumminess. This though is sweet delicious blueberry … More Blueberry muffins
I LOVE birthdays, whether it’s mine (preferred) or anyone else! I get very excited, like countdown to the day type of excited. Birth day is birth week and all of that. I’m basically 5 years old again with my level of excitement, but I figure it is one day of the year that is totally … More Chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting
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
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
With the abundance of rosemary and cheese in my fridge, I decided to make some rosemary crackers. Yum, cheese and crackers, great combo. As I write this, I’m watching this food show that is featuring food trucks in the USA and so far I’ve seen truffle mac and cheese as well as different types of tacos. I … More Rosemary Crackers
