Ramadan Dishes.
Hello everybody.
Sorry for the laziness but Ramadan is really tiring specially after Iftar, one gets lazy and tired.
Strategy this month is to make little amounts of every dish so as not to have leftovers next day ,the past couple of days I made many dishes.
rocca sun dried tomatoes grilled cheese salad.
qatayef and muhalbieh with caramel.
Mujalaleh.
Hello everybody.
June issue of Family Flavors magazine is on stands today, my contribution this month is a very old traditional Southern dish, usually done in Karak and Tafileh cities when fresh new milk and yoghurt are available.
Ramadan Kareem.
Hello everybody.
Two days passed, I can say they were easy and smooth.
First day ritual dish was stuffed vine leaves and courgettes, mushroom soup and fatoush. Typically dessert was qatayef filled with cheese and walnuts.
Second day’s dish was okra in the oven and Iranian rice, as for dessert I tried a new recipe that I sorted out by mixing many similar ones of the same ingredients.
Pistachio rose water dessert, base was crumbled biscuits and butter,topping was a mix of whipping cream, heavy cream, yogurt, pistachios, rose water, pinch of saffron. All beaten till creamy then onto biscuits, cooled then garnished with pistachios.
Simple elegant dessert with Ramadan spirit in it.
Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Cake.
Hello everybody.
My lovely aunt called yesterday saying she’d like to try one of my cakes, anything with lots of chocolate she said.
First thing that came to my mind was my usual daisies cake but then I thought why not to try another version, chocolate cake filled with chocolate cream and Ferrero Rocher and topped with the same.
Final outcome was really amazing and elegant, something all chocolate lovers will love for sure.

Old New Lunch!
Hello everybody.
Well lunch today was two opposite dishes, first very old and traditional the other kind of new and modern. Had to do this to please everyone and hopefully to have enough leftovers for tomorrow.
Okra with olive oil, a simple dish with few ingredients, you simply fry okra with some olive oil till crispy, add chopped garlic and tomatoes. Add salt, pepper and chili and leave on very low heat till all done.
Other dish was chicken cubes cooked till done with some chopped onion and garlic, then I added fresh mushrooms, broccoli and fresh cream and cooked till cream is thick and veggies tender,all served on a bed of fresh yummy pasta from Maysas.Pasta.
yummy ingredients leads to a delicious meal.
