Red Velvet Shortbread Sandwich Heart Cookies

Red Velvet Shortbread Sandwich Heart Cookies
 I know it's a long title, but trust me these cookies will not last long in the biscuit tin. Buttery red velvet shortbread sandwiched with white chocolate buttercream and then coated in melted white and milk chocolate. I know it has a lot of chocolate in it, but what shows more sweetness and love than red velvet and chocolate? So if you havn't prepared anything for your valentine yet then now is the time to make these cookies, because trust me, they'll love them! I mean how can you resist that contrast between the vibrant red and luscious white.

Valentines Day Cupcakes by Patosherie

My sister has been pretty busy with all these valentines day orders and cupcakes have been ordered the most. I suppose they are the trend now and who doesn't like cupcakes? They're perfect for that little cake craving you may get and if decorated properly they are perfect to give to a loved one. So why not treat your valentines to a cupcake made by Patosherie, here I have listed her three most popular cupcakes for valentines...Also she will be uploading a tutorial soon on how to do one of these cupcakes! :D

 A bouquet of roses is nice, but whats even better is a cupcake bouquet! As well as being edible the cupcakes look so elegant and you don't even have to worry about the roses withering away as I'm sure they'll all be eaten!  Also don't the doves just make it look so much more romantic?

Easy Chilli Roast Potatoes

Easy chilli roast potatoes

I know I havn't posted anything in while, and I do apologise for this. I've been really busy with exams, which are finally over (yay!) So I can now concentrate more on the blog! :)

I have been wanting to post these for a while but just havn't had the chance to. These roast potatoes are super easy to make and are bursting with flavour. I made these as a side dish for our family roast dinner, but to be honest I'd eat these a meal it self, they're that good. The nice part about this recipe is that you can make it as chilli as you want, I added one and half teaspoons of chilli powder, I love chilli food, but you can add more or less depending on how spicy you want it.

Coffee Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

Three exams done three more to go, so what do I decide to do half way through my exams? Bake a batch of shortbread cookies! These shortbread cookies are little different to your regular ones as first of all they have coffee in them and secondly they contain dark muscavado sugar which gives them a really nice treacly taste.

Lime Delight

Lime Delight
First week of 2013! There's just not enough days in a year. For me 2012 went really quickly, I had a few exams during the summer, unfortunately I still have some to do, in fact I have an exam next week. Which I should really be preparing for, but I am an expert procrastinator and usually leave the important things till last minute.

However I have done something useful which is...creating this beautiful zesty dessert. My mother invited a few family friends for New Years day and asked me to make a nice dessert for the guests. Now I love making desserts, especially chocolate ones, however a lot of the elders in my culture do not like chocolate, actually they don't like anything sweet unless it's a traditional sweet dish. After a lot of thinking on what to make, I decided to combine sweet and tang and created this crowd pleasing dessert.

Kefta (Meatball) Tagine

Kefta (Meatball) Tagine

The first time I tasted this dish was on my honeymoon in Paris. While my husband had eaten Moroccan food before, and kept telling me to try the kefta dish, I had not had the pleasure of savouring this heartwarming dish.

Topped with bubbling eggs, eat his dish with bread or fluffy couscous while taking in the wonderful aromas and colours on your plate.
