How To Feed Series: Clementine Fennel Potatoes

April 20, 2017

Inspired by one of my favourite recipes from "Jerusalem: A Cookbook" by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, the mix of flavours in this dish is absolutely wonderful. Orange, fennel, thyme, mustard seeds and a generous dose of ouzo (an anise-flavoured aperitif) makes a perfect accompaniment to chicken, fish or even chickpeas.

Carrot Top Pesto & Spiraled Zucchini

September 25, 2016

Disclaimer: Hamilton Beach provided me with their 3-in-1 Spiralizer in order to conduct this review. All words, recipes and opinions are entirely my own. Carrot tops don’t get nearly the attention they deserve. For years, I used to chop off the leafy greens that crowned the root and throw them away. That is, until I discovered you ...

Roasted Stuffed Eggplant for a North African Afternoon

May 18, 2016

Last weekend I had the most uplifting and unique experience: I spent an entire day cooking with two fellow food bloggers. Now, this could have easily been disastrous. Has anyone ever heard the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth”? But luckily, it was a grand afternoon! We decided to each select a recipe within our North African ...

Senegal Potato Salad

August 25, 2015

Have you ever tasted Senegal butternut squash soup? It’s a mildly spicy-sweet soup enhanced with the slight taste of peanuts. It is so decadent and a true pleasure to eat. And lately, I’ve been thinking about this soup like a love crush. You know the feeling- you think about it all day, dreaming of the next time you will meet, ...

Barley Saffron Stew

November 3, 2014

I don’t believe there is a comparable feeling quite like leaving your workplace for another. I have recently been hailed by a wonderful new employer, which is exciting, but also devastating because I have to leave my wonderful colleagues and friends behind. Bittersweet, really. But there are times we need something new. A new flavour to ...

Ancient Grain Salad with Herbs

October 23, 2014

I consider myself quite a healthy person. Sure, I enjoy baking gut-tightening treats but I also like to think I’m pretty balanced when it comes to what I put between my choppers. But the clouds part ways and the sun shines down when I eat a healthy dish that tastes absolutely amazing. Garlicy, creamy, chewy, flavourful, and above all ...

Cauliflower “Couscous” and Date Salad

October 9, 2014

I have made this salad twice now. And I rarely make such a precise dish so often (unless it is baby arugula salad with a creamy dressing. That’s too delicious not to be a regular). But this one definitely made the cut and here is why: the ingredients are amazing, the flavours outstanding, and the healthiness factor off the charts. I know ...
