Veggie tart
I wanted to recreate this tart where veggies look like flowers for aaaages. Yesterday I finally sat down and decided to make it. For this one I used carrots and courgette/zucchinis cause it’s easy to get thin slices of them. I also made my own crust, cause it is funnier but any store-crust would do fine as well. I hope you’ll like it just like I did 🙂 Ingredients For the homemade crust ——————– 2 cups flour // 3/4 cup softened (not liquified) butter // 1/2 cup water For the filling ——————– 2 eggs // 1/4-1/3 cup milk (depending on the size of the pie) // 2 tbsp double cream…
Simple Cookies
Simplicity is best. And cookies are definity the ultimate proof of that. I mean, who doesn’t love melting chocolate chips ? 😍 Well, my flatmate doesn’t but that’s another story. I made these cookies yesterday and they: 1)are easy to make. You probably have all the ingredients already and you can replace the chocolate chips with raisins (even though, your friends might hate you for being tricked it’s chocolate when it’s really raisins) and 2)can be either soft or crunchier, depending on how you like them. But enough talking, let’s get into serious things shall we? Ingredients (makes…
Chocolate Protein Balls
Guys. In the past to criminals in the Roman Empire, they used to attach each one of their limbs to a horse. Then order the horses to run in all directions. Ouch. I feel like life is trying to do that to me. So many things to do which have NOTHING to do with each other. Gotta process my simulations result. Prepare my french lessons (I’m a french teacher too). Work on the model of a CubeSat satellite we’re trying to send into space – if we win the competition – with ANOTHER team. On top of that I’m preparing for the Dobson cup. Now don’t get it wrong, I…
Plum and Peach Jam
Summer rhymes with jam right ? I was strolling in Edgware Road today and found some Kilner jars. I have never owned one myself, so I decided it was time to. I totally bought the jar and then decided what to put into it, because I am cool like that 🙂 Today was the first day I have ever prepared a homemade jam. Jam is so easy to make and everyone should start I believe. Fruits, sugar, water, and any additives (spices, caramon, anise, cinnamon etc), and you’re good to go! Ingredients: 240g of peaches 240g of plums 250g of sugar (more or less) 1 tbsp of maple syrup…
Summer Fruity Porridge
I absolutely love berries. Especially when they’re frozen! I’ve never been a big fan of sweets, thank goodness, so frozen berries are a good compromise, especially during hot spring and summer days. So I tend to put frozen berries on top of as many dishes as I can, porridge included I made this porridge a while ago and thought I might share it with you 🙂 Let me know what you think in the comments below! Ingredients 3/4 cup of rolled oats // 300 ml of almond milk // 1.5 tsp of honey or maple syrup // 1 tsp of chia seeds // 1/3 cup of peach slices //…
Veggie Summer Springrolls
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through Ramadan, woohoo! Anyway, I am still at home meaning still on full mode turtle. Mornings starting at 3pm, like aaaahhh! So good to be back home. I don’t even wanna go back to London ever again. Actually, I do a little bit. See, I’ve bought this book with the 100 best cafés in London. I spent like 4 years there and just realized there are plenty of amazing cafés I haven’t been to yet. Now the thing is Ramadan ends on the 5th of july, meaning it’s gonna be a real marathon to try and check out all these amazing places. No worries,…
Sugar-free, Vegan Blueberries and Apple Pie
I once said I don’t have a sweet tooth. Which is true. But I also love to experiment in the kitchen, and see what I can come up with. I used some blueberries the other day to make a sorbet, and I was left with half of the bag. I then saw a picture of this blueberries pie somewhere on the internet, and I was inspired to do prepare a pie 🙂 So there you go, gonna share the goodness with you! Ingredients For the crust: 1 cup rice flour // 2/3 cups self-raising flour // 4 tbsp of coconut oil // 1/4-1/2 cup of water, to bind the dough For…
Healthy Banana Bread
Banana bread is definitely one of my favorite desserts. I can eat a whole load by myself, and I’m not even lying. Yes, that’s full of sugar but…it’s quite the point, right ? Anyway, I had some bananas and I love to experiment, so I attempted to recreate the banana bread but with a healthy twist. It may taste a bit different than the usual, sugar and butter loaded banana free, but it is equally as good. I had different seeds at home and some raisins so I just threw everything in, to get an overload of vitamins and yumminess 🙂 Anyways, here is the recipe for y’all! Healthy Banana…
Chickpea, Leek and Onion Fry Up with Hummus
My mom is a wonderful cook, and to this day I still believe no one compared to her. When I was a kid, she was never satisfied nor did she enjoy the food she cooked. I never really understood until I entered into the cooking and baking world myself. Sometimes I feel like, when you make something yourself, no matter how delicious it is, it is never the same as eating something someone else made for you. This week I am eating vegetarian food only, which is really good as not only I love veggies but I also get to play with different kinds of food to create balanced recipes.…
Plain Waffles
My mom is a huuuuge waffle fan (especially mine haha :’)). So I absolutely love to prepare some for her every time I get back home in Morocco. The only problem is I often change the recipe, which my mom hates cause I then forget it 🙂 Anyway, I’m sitting down and recording this one, so it’s not forgotten. It’s a basic, plain recipe, but obviously you can add vanilla, orange extract, or use another type of flour. Just make sure you let me know in the comments below how did you find it! Ingredients 1 medium egg 1 cup of regular flour 1 tsp of baking powder 1 sachet of…
