The Dacquoise cookies I made a few weeks ago were so good that I decided to make dacquoise again recently, but this time, in the more traditional cake form. I was going to fill the layers with a Sw…
The inspiration for these Dacquoise cookies comes from Latifeh, which are soft Persian cookies sandwiched with rose-scented whipped cream. The first time I tried latifeh, from Laleh Bakery, I was h…
Entertaining (or just really, really love tiny, bite-sized snacks)? These apps got you covered.
Nanaimo bars are a traditional Canadian dessert bar, originating out of Nanaimo, BC. Original versions use a great deal of white sugar, along with butter, and eggs. This much healthier and vegan version is also gluten-free and nut-free. Not sickly sweet, but still decadent… possibly better than the original? I think so!

Am I glad I spilled out my frying pan angst to you all yesterday or what? This morning (and by “morning” I think we all understand that it was 1 p.m., right?), when faced with the task …
Let’s get one thing out of the way: I don’t really believe in superfoods. Yes, there are handfuls of over-achieving berries, grains, and other foods that seem to be especially packed with nutrients and (possibly) life-improving goodness, but the superfood label seems a bit insulting to all the other wonderful fruits and vegetables that are also so very delicious and nourishing.
I try to keep my food blog only about Algerian/ Moroccan and North African cuisine in general, but when something as memorable as these lit...

Ravioli alla Caprese are one of the quintessential dishes in Capri! Pillowy, ricotta-filled ravioli with a homemade tomato sauce and fresh basil - what could be better?These ravioli are unique - the dough only requires flour and water, with no egg or semolina flour required. This creates a pasta dough that's airy and light, and not as rustic and chewy as some doughs can be. In the end, it results in a soft, delicate dumpling - it's absolutely divine.If you can't find Cacciota cheese, the traditional choice in Italy, and mild semi-soft cheese will work great. Pecorino would be a tasty addition to give the ravioli a bit of a sharp flavor, but a meltier cheese like Fontina would be delicious as well.
I experimented with a few spice rubs and glazes until I arrived with something that I think I could even convince my lamb fearing father to eat. The lamb ribs or riblets as they are sometimes called are different from cutlets which are trimmed although feel free to use cutlets if that's all you have access to. Lamb ribs are tasty, very inexpensive at around $7 a kilo and are generally procured from butchers that break down the animals themselves.
Crisp mushrooms, melting-cheese-goodness & the most delish sauce for dipping. This Cheesy Mushroom Bake is simply D-I-V-I-N-E!
A proper chicken shawarma — the spiced meat cooked on a spit, then stuffed with pickles, sauces, tomato and other salads into a flat bread wrap — is truly right up top on the God Tier of sandwiches. This, my improper version, is another proposition, but headily delicious in its own right. I marinate the chicken with lemon, garlic, oil and all the right spices but, for an easy meal at home, I cook it in the oven. I do serve it with pitta or other flatbreads, along with a divine sauce made simply by mixing together yogurt, tahini and more garlic, adding a sprinkle of pomegranate seeds if I have some. As you can see, I serve the chicken on a mound of shredded iceberg, and you could easily put a bowl of sliced tomatoes out on the table too and, if it took your fancy, another of pink-pickled onions (you can see the method for this in step 1 of the fish finger bhorta. Of course, you are free to add anything you may want alongside — you can never have too many pickles, in my book! — but whatever you do, provide plenty of napkins, and allow everyone to roll up or stuff their pittas as they wish. It’s the perfect indoor picnic! For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

The Pasticceria Papa Ricotta Cheesecake Replica is the lightest and most fluffy cheesecake you'll ever make and in all seriousness, not that hard to make. Best made a day ahead to allow for proper chilling. All ingredients should be at room temperature BUT the pastry may need extra 5 minutes chilling if you are making the cake on a warm day. You will need a 20cm diameter (6cm high) springform cake tin. Reader suggestion: I find the best flour to use for the pastry is the Italian OO.
