Olive oil and laban pistachio cake. A super moist and easy cake that is bursting with freshness. The olive oil and laban (yogurt) create magic with a super tender crumb. The tanginess and crispness of the lemon drizzle works perfectly well with the nutty and moist cake. I loved coming up with this recipe as the ingredients are super simple and the outcome is perfect. Decorate it or leave it rustic- you’ll love it anyway.

So I went back into into my camera roll and found this simple salad I made last year while on holiday in France. Nothing makes me happier than fruits and vegetable markets! It’s super simple, just make sure not to over cook the beans and put them in icy water to retain their green vibrancy and their crunch.

Continue ReadingTo be honest, the is the truest of true crumbles minus the butter, the flour and the sugar. Instead I made it using maple syrup, oat flakes and bran, some almond flour and super ripe and juicy fruits. I got inspired when I found some super ripe peaches peaches in the fridge and mixed berries in the freezer. Berries always turn into a gooey red coulis and transform any crumble into heaven.

Transform any salad into a crunchy, exciting one simply by upscaling your leftover rice into little crispy, flavorful bites. I used nutritional yeast to add benefits and umami flavors (and because I had some at home!!). Otherwise all you need is some olive oil, dried herbs and an oven or air fryer. A great way to use your leftover rice.

Continue ReadingI remember very well, sitting with my parents, watching tv and mom would peel us juicy and sweet oranges. I am always reluctant about peeling them but if someone hands me these juicy fruits that I adore ready peeled- I’m in heaven!Actually, orange blossom is one of my favorite scents.This dessert is Moroccan inspired, although Spain has something similar called Naranjas con Canela. You have to try it to understand the beauty of this dish. The warmth of the cinnamon and the flowery orange blossom brings out an incredible sweetness in the oranges. I also used some small sweet clementines…
