Hello everybody.
I can proudly say that it’s a successful week, I catered a four days workshop at the Water and Irrigation Ministry, guests were Germans this time.
Did coffee breaks and lunches each day with different kinds of food.
Thank God all were happy and satisfied and ended work with a beautiful cake.

This chef is really amazing, cooks in the wilderness many easy delicious dishes,salads and appetizers.

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.
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.
Hello everybody.
Did my first official order today to a dear friend of mine.
Date rolls, baked Zaynab fingers were the dessert part, za’tar puffs, smoked kebabs with Iranian rice were appetizer and main dish.
all ready and packed.
