I love maamoul! They’re one of my favorite thing

I love maamoul! They’re one of my favorite things to bake, eat and gift! I have tested lots of maamoul recipes, and I have always loved the one in the book and the one on my website, but the question is: “Do I really need another maamoul recipe to share with my readers?” If you are looking for a quick recipe that doesn’t involve long periods of dough rest, or if you’re running into issues with any other maamoul recipe, the answer then is yes, you need this recipe in your life! It is a quick and easy version, even a novice baker can easily make, they’re melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and it’s impossible to eat one without reaching for a second!

Halawet Al Riz is delicious – full stop! Bring the flavors of the beautiful city of Tripoli in Lebanon to your kitchen with this cheesy rice pudding that we call Halawet El Riz; in Lebanon, people don’t typically prepare it at home. you will find it in pastry shops such as “Al Hallab & Sons”. “Halawet Al Riz” is a one pot dessert that is similar to halawet el jibn but with less to clean up, though it takes patience and a bit of stovetop skill to make it but the results will bring rave reviews when done right, it is so flavorful.

Christmas is around the corner, I wonder how many

Christmas is around the corner, I wonder how many of you make their own Christmas cake every year. “Buche de Noel” or “Yule Log Cake” is an old Christmas confection, a perfect roll cake, that is intentially created to look like a yule log. There is no cake better than a chocolate log cake to grace your Christmas table. It is not difficult to make, yet there are a number of steps involved. A showstopper that will impress your family and friends! I am certain you will love this recipe if you give it a try.

My heart has a special spot to shanklish / shankle

My heart has a special spot to shanklish / shankleesh, the Middle Eastern version of blue cheese, and the only aged cheese in the region. Shanklish can be found in most grocery shops all over Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. If living abroad, you must have seen shanklish on the shelves of Middle Eastern food stores, those vacuumed cheese balls with an off-white interior, crusted with zaatar or Aleppo pepper. Shanklish is commonly served at Lebanese restaurants as part of the mezze spread, smashed and mixed with diced tomatoes, onions and parsley. Full of lively sharp flavors, and once you make it you will find yourself.

With its simple ingredients and soul-warming essen

With its simple ingredients and soul-warming essence this Turkish Red Lentil Soup is a new favorite at our house. The month of Ramadan is quickly approaching, many cooks will be looking for new soup ideas. It is a one that calms down the hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and knowing how nourishing and healthful it is brings another layer of contentment. The soup has been given the thumbs up by friends and guests who had it at my house — in addition to all its other virtues, it’s vegan and gluten-free.

Lebanese Sweet Kaak. Crispy, crunchy Lebanese swee

Lebanese Sweet Kaak. Crispy, crunchy Lebanese sweet kaak cookies that pair beautifully with tea, and are perfect too to dunk them in a cup of hot salep, or serve them as part of your afternoon snacks and nibbles! Though to be more accurate, maybe I shouldn’t classify them as cookies, since they are not your ordinary soft, chewy cookies, they are supposed to be a bit hard and crispy with a pleasant crunch in every bite. Seasoned with anise seeds and mahlab, their flavor is warm and fragrant, and are coated with sesame seeds that add a nutty agreeable character; if you have been raised in Lebanon, then you must have seen them gracing the windows of most Lebanese bakeries.
