This recipe for sweet couscous is perfect anytime of the day. I have eaten it for dinner, breakfast, and even for dessert. When I come home from school the last thing I want to do is cook so I love how quickly this dish comes together.
It is traditionally served as the final savoury course at Moroccan banquets. Since it is reserved for special occasions more expensive nuts such as pistacios and pine nuts are often used in it along with traditional almonds.
This week at school has been all about pastry and desserts; I have been loving having a change from savoury to sweet. I am definitely the kind of person who always likes to have something sweet after a meal. Of all of the treats we have made so far this chocolate mousse has been my favourite. It is delicious on its own but would also be amazing as a filling for a cake. You can even add flavouring extracts such as mint, orange, or even flavoured liqueurs if you want to make it even more special.
This recipe is one that my Mom has had for years (she can’t even remember where she got it from anymore). Since we are having a Superbowl party this weekend she suggested that I give it a try. The brownies turned out delicious! On the bottom you have a moist cake and on the top is a rich fudge icing. This recipe is more difficult to make than a traditional brownie, but well worth the extra effort.
If you’ve been having trouble coming up with something to make to bring to a Superbowl party, these brownies are sure to be a hit!
This is one of my favourite desserts to make at Christmas time and during the winter season. It would be perfect to serve after a ham dinner because it is just the right combination of creaminess and tang and not too rich to finish a heavy holiday meal.
I came across the blog What Katie Ate yesterday and was so impressed by her gorgeous food styling and photography. I was feeling inspired by her today so I decided to make a pear crisp and cocoa brownies filled with sour cherries. I love how Katie puts the name of the dish she is photographing right on the image. I wanted to give it a try myself and see what everyone thought.
As I was looking at her blog I could see that I still have a lot to learn about food photography; which only makes me want to work even harder at it!
