This cookie recipe is very easyto make. No mixer required. No creaming of softened-but-not-too-soft butter. No chilling the dough for 24 hours. I

Omelet with dates & cinnamon

I owe my grandmother for this recipe. Everything she makes radiates beauty and good energy. I always wished that I could cook like her and grow my veggies in my garden to have fresh, homemade recipes from my own little farm. I like sweet and savory tastes together, some people don't, like my husband, Reza. Despite my efforts to make these kinds of recipes in different ways, he never enjoyed a single one of them. So, I decided to make them for myself and people who are like me

Creamy Saffron Pasta

How was your first week of Déconfinement? Mine was a bit strange, even though, we are allowed to go out but I don't feel comforatble. On Saturday, I woke up and made coconut cookies. Then I hit up the farmer’s market to buy some veggies. Shopping is not easy like before. It takes me so much time to clean my shopping bag and it is frostrating. That's why i decided to make a creamy, comfy bowl of pasta to bring smile on our faces. It’s an italian recipe, and became one of my fa

Mango Sorbet

This week, I was overwhelmed by the variety of gorgeous fresh produce at the farmers’ market. I couldn’t resist a few mangos, fresh mint and a few bright green veggies. Mango, a summer treat, is delicious in slices, but I took it to a whole new level with this frozen mango and honey sorbet. The sorbet consists almost primarily of mango, with very little vanilla extract. A few tablespoons of shredded coconut improve the consistency of this frozen treat. Ingredients: 4 mangoe

Grilled Corn

It’s the bbq season. Let’s make some grilled corn and turn it into a meal! This refreshing grilled corn would also complement grilled mains, like my go-to veggie burgers. You could also add onto greens to make it a salad for lunch—just add a drizzle of olive oil, if you’d like. This corn recipe is made primarily with fresh sweet corn, red onion, cilantro, chili flakes, and lime juice. All you need: 2 fresh corns 1 small red onion 1/2 cup chopped parsley Olive oil Chili flakes

Sweet corn salad

Fresh, comfy, healthy and tasty! what else do you expect from a salad. This salad would make a beautiful presentation at your summertime get-togethers, or on your dinner table. It goes well with grilled options and balances out heavier main dishes. I think it would look cute as an appetizer, served in small glasses or ramekins. Ingredients: 200 gr sweet corn 1 red bell pepper 1 small red onion 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup chopped parsley Salt & Pepper Me

I am very sensitive to pollen and every year for about 2 months that we have warm weather, i suffer. Today, I wanted to share an easy green dish with you. It just take a few minutes & it's super fresh , nourishing and comforting, which is exactly what we need right now. I promise it’s so tasty! Ingredients: 1 mozzarella di bufala 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced A few fresh

Quinoa and Rocket Salad

Today, I’m craving healthy home cooking salad & this creamy quiona salad can be a comfy dish. This mega-healthy quinoa and rocket salad was inspired by a salad that I've eaten in Madrid. I was desperate for recipe inspiration, so I sampled a few of their salads and particularly enjoyed their spinach and quinoa salad with pine nuts and parmesan. Ingredients: 1 cup quinoa 1/2 cup green peas 1/2 cup green beans 1 small onion, sliced Some rocket salad Olive oil 1 tbsp parmesan 1/

Quiona salad in Cabbage warps

This year, my appartment windows are failing miserably in their fight against the relentlessly hot weather and the heat produced by my kitchen appliances. Every time I turn on the stove, I sweat up a storm and curse the heat, but I’m not about to give up and order food, especially during COVID-19. I’ve adapted by seeking out recipes that either don’t require cooking at all, or recipes that require minimal cooking and make great leftovers, like this one. It yields about 8- 10w
