Clementine Clafoutis. Clafoutis mit Mandarin. (كلافوتي الكلامنتين (اليوسفي


Clafoutis ,pronounced (klafuti) , is a french dessert made originally with cherries, arranged in a baking dish & covered with a batter thinner then the Cake one . It can also be made with Strawberries ,but I decided to do it with Clementine as we are in the winter season now. Its taste is somehow like a mixture of custard & souffle´ & cake. I like it warm as it's more moist & tender. This is an easy recipe, I did it in small ramekins but you can make it in a big baking dish & cut it into slices. hope you try it & give your feed backs :)

Egyptian Sahlab. Ägyptisches Sahlab getränk . السحلب المصري


"Sahlab" is the official winter drink in Egypt. It's made of milk, Starch  & nuts. Sometimes I get that amazing nostalgic feeling when we used to sit in front of TV in the long cold winter nights with all family members gathered & making a huge pot of "Sahlab" & enjoy the happy & most important funny family events & laughing till late hours of the night ,then going to sleep with a big happy smile on our faces, whenever I get that feeling , I run to the kitchen & do a smaller pot of "Sahlab" for my small family ,waiting anxiously for summer to come to enjoy those huge family gatherings once again!

Egyptian Fava Brown Beans. Ägyptische Saubohnen (braunebohnen). الفول المصري

Egyptian Fava beans called "Fool" is the most popular breakfast in Egypt. Mostly all Egyptians eat Fool daily or frequently, It's delicious and a very important source of protein ! Its delayed digestion causes a sense of full stomach for a long time ,that's why we depend on "Fool" a lot during our fasting moth "Ramdan" as "sehoor" (The early breakfast before starting fasting).

Fava Beans Carts are every where in the streets of Egypt, there you can find hundreds of people early in the morning having breakfast before going to work. It has the same shape & color always & there you can eat the most delicious Fool ever :) You order it with many many flavours according to your taste.

Iight Chocolate Cupcakes. Leichte Schoko-Muffins. كب كيك الشكولاتة القليلة السعرات


Those Cupcakes are relatively less in Calories than the ordinary choco-cupcakes. They are very moist from inside & I usually do them a lot in winter because butter never softens when they are outside the fridge , so I find it easier to use oil instead of hard butter -that needs melting-  in those cold days!

Ingredients: (for 12)
