About Yasmine

Hello! My name is Yasmine Idriss Tannir, I am from Beirut, Lebanon. I am originally a Graphic Designer, graduated in 2002 from the American University of Beirut.
Dubai has been our home since 2007.

As a child, cooking and food meant family and friends gathering around a table, laughing and chatting for hours. I think this is what instilled the passion for cooking and baking in me.

A delicious and super easy semolina cake adapted from chef @selinkiazim. اللغة العربية أدناه. Add lots of almond for extra crunch!
كعكة سميد لذيذة وسهلة للغاية مقتبسة من الشيف @selinkiazim. أضف الكثير من اللوز للحصول على قرمشة إضافية!

For the cake
190ml oil, plus extra for greasing
250ml milk
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g caster sugar
zest of 1 lemon
500g coarse semolina
1 tbsp baking powder
200g blanched almonds, roughly crushed

For the sugar syrup
1.5 litres water
500g caster sugar
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp rose water
1 tbsp orange blossom water

Preheat oven to 220C
Lightly oil your baking tin (10x14”)

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, lemon zest, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until mixed.
In a measuring jug, measure the milk and the oil.
Whisk liquids into the eggs mix and whisk to combine.
In another large bowl, measure the semolina and add the baking powder to it.
While continuously whisking the liquids, slowly pour over the semolina and gently keep whisking until combined.
The batter is fairly liquid, don’t worry.
Pour into your greased tin, sprinkle with crushed almonds and bale for 25-30min until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean.

For the sugar syrup:
In a medium, heavy based pot, mix the sugar and the water.
Bring to a boil until reduced by half.
Once thick and syrupy, remove from heat and add the lemon juice and the flower blossoms.

When the cake is ready, pour the hot syrup over the hot syrup over the cake. Do it in batches to allow the cake to absorb the syrup.

Allow to cool completely before cutting.
This cake tastes even better the second day- just keep airtight.

At the highest point of Lisbon, the miradoura Senhora do Monte offers some of the prettiest rooftop views and specially at the golden hour around sunset. We discovered, behind a small red door, the @secretgarden_lx, a charming well kept secret indeed, with drinks and live fado music.
في أعلى نقطة في لشبونة، تقدم ميرادورا سينهورا دو مونتي بعضا من أجمل المناظر على السطح وخاصة في الساعة الذهبية عند غروب الشمس. اكتشفنا، خلف باب أحمر صغير، @secretgarden_lx، سرا ساحرا جيدا بالفعل، مع المشروبات وموسيقى الفادو الحية.

Coconut Watermelon Popsicles:

Ingredients:

• 300g frozen watermelon chunks

• A squeeze of lime or lemon juice

Instructions:

2. Add the squeeze of lime or lemon juice to the blended watermelon and give it a quick mix.

Salt and olive oil! Would you try this Michelin Star hack? اللغة العربية أدناه. Try adding salt and olive oil to a fruit salad to bring out the flavors of the fruits. I also added lemon zest and mint as well , it was so delicious!
هل يمكنك تجربة اختراع ميشلان هذا؟ حاول إضافة الملح وزيت الزيتون إلى سلطة الفاكهة لإبراز نكهات الفواكه. أضفت أيضا قشر الليمون والنعناع أيضا، كان لذيذا جدا!

Ingredients:

• 2 nectarines, sliced
• 1 medium ripe mango, peeled and sliced
• A handful of blueberries
• A handful of pomelo segments
• Fresh mint leaves
• A pinch of salt
• Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
• Optional: crumbled goat cheese, feta, or burrata

Instructions:

1. Wash and prepare the fruits. Slice the nectarines and mango into strips, and remove any seeds or pits.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced nectarines, mango, blueberries, and pomelo segments.
3. Tear a few fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the fruit mixture.
4. Season with salt and olive oil: Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over the fruit mixture. This might sound unusual, but a small amount of salt enhances the natural sweetness of the fruits. Next, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the salad. The olive oil will add richness and depth to the flavors.
5. If you’re using cheese, crumble goat cheese, feta, or burrata over the top of the fruit salad.

Watch til the end! شاهد حتى النهاية!
How is your summer going? I am having a wonderful time but I am always super conscious about keeping my social media alive. It’s not always easy when you’re trying to be present while maintaining a presence digitally. How do you manage?
كيف يسير صيفك؟ أقضي وقتا رائعا لكنني دائما ما أكون واعيا للغاية بالحفاظ على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي الخاصة بي على قيد الحياة. ليس من السهل دائما عندما تحاول أن تكون حاضرا مع الحفاظ على وجود رقميا. كيف تدير؟
