Kiymali pide- Turkish stuffed bread and mince
I do like a good bread recipe! This Turkish stuffed bread reminds me of the Bulgarian version of Princesi – bread with mince spread. It is a favourite childhood breakfast, lunch or whatever you want it to be. Going back to the original Turkish recipe, the dough is soft, the mince is fragrant. I like…
Maple glazed pumpkin buns
These cute little buns are soft, warm and perfect with a cup of tea or buttered for breakfast. They have very little amount of sugar, so make perfect treat for kids too. And also look so gorgeous, that I will make them again for Halloween. INGREDIENTS: (makes 8) 1/2 cup pumpkin puree 120 ml (1/2…

Lemon meringue pie

Quiche with Emmental and fresh zaatar
Zaatar is well known Arabic herb. It is sort of thyme, very fragrant and versatile. It is widely used in Bulgaria as well, there it is called “chubrica” and we use it dried as a condiment to almost everything we cook. I saw this recipe from my Instagram friend Petites Choses . I have to tell…
Cornish pasty with leftover Christmas turkey
