Copycat Papparoti Buns

Got the papparoti craving after your flight to Dubai was cancelled and probably will be for a long time? Don’t worry, I’ve got you. Here is my take on the famous Papparoti buns aka Mexican coffee buns. It isn’t 100% what you get in the Papparoti shop themselves but it’s pretty darn close. 

Baklava Ice Cream Sandwich

So this post was supposed to be a recipe for a sweet and creamy kunefe but thanks to my supermarket delivery, who not only substituted my order of three broccolis for 8 pairs of corn on the cobs, I had whole phyllo pastry delivered instead of shredded kataifi/phyllo pastry. 

Mango Panna Cotta

Make the most of the lovely sunshine before the weather change – typical London weather – and indulge in this refreshing and creamy mango panna cotta. It is fairly easy to make and once you nail it, you can swap out mango for coffee, strawberry and other fruits. 

Dutch Baby

Have the family asking for pancakes but don’t want to commit to standing over a hot stove flipping pancakes on demand? Why not make this massive, billowy, sweet dutch baby pancake instead which is bound to be a crowd pleaser. 

The Ultimate Banana Bread Recipe

I’m a sucker for banana bread, especially in times of comfort – like now! I love it toasted with a slab of butter melting all over it or a dollop of creamy vanilla ice cream. I’ll even have it cold straight from the fridge. Heck, even Aadam loves a nibble here and there. 

Refreshing Falooda Recipe

As the weather starts to warm up, the only thing I look forward to after a long day of fasting is a big frothy glass of falooda with ALL the trimmings. Yes, sev, ice cream, lots of rose syrup – the works!
