I love all pizza types and shapes, thin crust, hand tossed, deep dish, sicilian and any style you can name. However, there is one pizza that I can never forget and I wish I get the chance again to have one more bite from that pizza slice. It is Mr. Maxims pizzeria in Malta. That was…
White bread loaf with honey
I was never so keen about making bread at home before. I used to buy it from the store all the time and very happy with what I got. I had few favorite brands like everyone else until I noticed that some of my favorite brands have high fructose corn syrup! At that moment, I thought…

Chicken with some good Indian flavors from a beginner
I have never met anybody yet who is not in love with Indian food. The spices, the sauces and the naan, how can you go wrong with that?! There are quite few dishes that remind me of the Egyptian cuisine specially any meat with sauces, the bread, the fried veggies and samosa. However, curry…

I noticed that there is a Tunisian kamounia as well that is very traditional in Tunisia. The only difference between the Tunisian and the Egyptian version is the usage of harisa and bell peppers…
Chicken piccata with a little twist
Piccata is one of my favorite dishes at many restaurants specially CheeseCake Factory. However, this recipe is bit different since it uses Mediterranean marination and spices. Its sauce is not that white and creamy but it is more yellowish from the turmeric. My husband and kids loved that dish so much! It is bit heavy…
Egyptian okra stew, the bamya recipe
Bamya is a very traditional Egyptian dish but it is still very common in all Arab countries. It is usually cooked with lamb, however I am not a big fan of lamb (despite of being middle eastern) so I usually cook it with beef instead. If you are a vegetarian, you can still follow the…
