Ramadan biscuits with cardamom
Ramadan Kareem! The city will change a lot in the next 30 days. Ramadan is here and so the endless Iftars with friends. People get more relaxed and calm. There is so much food to share and so much generosity to spread. For me living in a Muslim country thought me how close the religions…
Churros
I have seen churros everywhere in the food blogs. I never bother to make it or even to read a recipe. Until yesterday afternoon. After work. With no intention of cooking.

Making a quick foodie research I found that the word “scones” was first mentioned back in 1513! And ever since they have been baked…
Bread sticks with sea salt, rosemary and sesame seeds
Like every foodie I like buying stuff for my kitchen. Most of the time is something that I actually need….. that`s most of the time. But there is these days where I get myself lost in the shops with the only idea of finding something interesting and new. For this special utensils I already have…
Eclairs with lime cream and dark chocolate
Writing about this recipe is rather difficult. Lets start with my enthusiasm to make these eclairs. It is not my first time, but the last time I made them was probably three years ago back in Bulgaria. Back then I was almost scared if I am gonna make them right. All the blogs I was…
