Easy Eid maamoul cake. If you’re like me, craving the smell and the flavor of homemade maamoul- make this cake instead. It’s sweet, buttery and nutty. Smells and tastes similarly to the flavors we love about maamoul. It’s made with almond flour so it’s naturally gluten free. You can serve it as squares or as slices. May this Eid bring blessings to you and your loved ones. Ingredients from @spinneysuae

Continue ReadingDuring the festive season, I love impressive desserts that are actually easy to make such as this flourless chocolate cake with almond and pears. It looks so decadent and so elegant although it is super easy to prepare. Firstly, just make sure to use Bartlett pears as they bake beautifully into a soft and jammy topping but retain their shape when baked. Secondly, add the meringue in thirds: 1/3 mixed in vigorously to loosen the batter and the remaining 1/3 then 1/3 gently folded in to retain lightness. Do not over mix to avoid deflating. I love using USA pears…

Continue ReadingI have been wanting to try the combination of a rich yet light dark chocolate mousse with olive oil but I didn’t know which one to use. When I tasted the extra virgin olive oil from Rafael Salgado @aceitesrafaelsalgado, with its rich, fruity flavor, its perfect balance of velvety and acidic finish, i knew that was the perfect oil to use for this recipe. Rafael Salgado oils are a family run business, producing olive oil since 1875. That is 150 years of Spanish olive oil perfection from Spain to your home. Distributed by @lifcointl
