One thing I brought back from my trip to Hungary is a large stock of Paprika. I have never seen a country so proud of a spice. But if I am honest they are right, first because the taste is very yami, second because it is a very powerful spice as it is very good … [Read more…]
This recipe was inspired to me by another Lebanese recipe. My version is a much lighter one though, as the original contains deep fried bread (which I rarely add when I do it at home). But stil, it is very tasty without it. Don’t get me wrong I love the traditional one, but wouldn’t (and … [Read more…]
Depending if they are cooked or not, courgette’s taste can be completely different, and that is true for this veggie even more than for any other. This salad was a complete improvisation, and ended up to be a good one! I can never get bored of the crunchiness of the raw courgettes! Ingredients for 2 … [Read more…]
« Loubieh bi zeit », means literally “beans in oil”, even though there is not so much oil in this recipe, or at least not in the way I do it. I have to say it is not my favourite mezze, but still, it is an easy one to do, and typical from the Lebanese cuisine. I … [Read more…]

One thing I love with my cooking blog is the interaction with other food lovers, and sharing tips with them. This recipe was given to me by Gene, who posted it as a comment under one of my recipes. I have done it a couple of time already, and I can confirm that it is … [Read more…]
That recipe is one of my secret weapons that I like to bake when I am running out of time, but still want, or at least try, to impress my guests. You can really play with the decoration (lemon slices, olives, salad) to make it look waw, with a minimum of effort. Ingredients for 6 … [Read more…]
I never ever liked tomato, especially after being forced to eat them when I was a kid. Those things stays 😛 I still try to find tricks though to eat some from time to time as they are very beneficial for the health. This simple (but efficient!) recipe did the work. I won’t have it … [Read more…]
One day last year, my other half decided to take over my kitchen! “are you sure” did I ask him. He was. It doesn’t happened often I must say, but when it happens, I learnt to let go and let him in charge, because there is one thing I learnt with time: he can be … [Read more…]
