If I was told I had to ditch my uni job and enter full time work immediately, and that I could have any job I wanted, I'd probably choose a food magazine job - like a test kitchen chef or stylist (and I'll attempt to fill in the photographer's job when they're on sick leave, too 😉 … Continue reading makdous recipe

‘grape and greens’ summer salad
Time's flying by so quickly, and with less than a month until February is finished, summer still feels far from leaving us here Down Under. The weather here is funny: it's like the patchwork of a crooked sewer, where we experience all four seasons in just one day! From blazing hot rays through our burnt ozone, to … Continue reading ‘grape and greens’ summer salad

petite pumpkin soup
I'm back! 🙂 In case you missed, I was doing a small tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand 🙂 I've picked up on some amazing culinary practices I can't wait to do here at home and share with everyone on the blog. 🙂 Today I'm sharing with you a recipe given by my aunty.

chilli sweet potato fries
If you're after a party in your mouth, then this is the recipe you're after. It's packed with flavour, fried nutrition (:P), and loaded with texture to kick-start the best flavourful experience you'll ever have. I'll make an outright confession here: these aren't as healthy as Rufus' baked sweet potato fries, but they're fries, so I'll fry … Continue reading chilli sweet potato fries
no bake ‘pita’ pockets
Now that I've delved deep into uni, I thought I'd share with you a quick and healthy recipe I love to make... especially that I'm pretty much always short on time... It's going to be one of my big and bold claims, that I invented this, because I've never before seen it anywhere... not in … Continue reading no bake ‘pita’ pockets
spiral curry puffs
I wonder if anyone is finding today a particularly weird day. Because it's the 29th of Feb. I thought I'll put up a recipe for the occasion. A while back I tried a recipe for 2-toned spiral curry puffs I saw on Tes at Home's blog. Although my 2 tones didn't turn out as 2 tones, there … Continue reading spiral curry puffs
Syrian lentil soup
I've been so brain dead for the past few days. Like in the same way society scrutinises blondes for being dumb. Only tenfold worse. You see..... I've been aiming to get my driver's license since August last year... I did a practical driving test on the 23rd Aug 2011... and after passing all the exam … Continue reading Syrian lentil soup
basic watermelon fruit basket
Now that summer's over, I'm really looking forward to cooler nights and heartier food 🙂 A few weeks back when the fruit drawer was overflowing, I made a very basic fruit basket and took it along to a little morning tea. I had plans to make it a bit more fancy, but I started just … Continue reading basic watermelon fruit basket
fatayer bil jibneh recipe
Fatayer... I can't explain to you how much I love this fat-full, carb-full, little delight. Back home in Syria, on the days you feel like it, you wake up, wash up, wear your clothes and head down to the "bakery" and order x-amount of pieces of "fatayer". The whole ritual is so appeasing; the crispy fresh … Continue reading fatayer bil jibneh recipe
