Cooking a la Dina
Lebanese cheesecake or the unpronounceable Knafeh be jibneh! This is a homemade version of it – maybe, and just maybe, a little bit lighter than the original.
Potimarron, or Red kuri squash, is a hard-shelled winter squash variety with firm orange flesh. It belongs to the Cucurbita maxim group. The flesh provides a very delicate and mellow chestnut-like flavor (marron means chestnut in French).
A ne pas confondre avec la Moussaka grecque! Bien sûr ce sont deux plats à base d’aubergines mais la Moussaka’a Libanaise est un plat végétarien à base d’aubergines mais aussi de pois chiches, tomates, menthe et huile d’olive.
Je n’ajoute aucune autre épice car j’aime le goût dominant de l’aubergine et du pois chiche.
Yet another vegetarian dish!
Spinach is for sure an excellent source of all kind of vitamins and dietary fiber. It is definitely among the world’s healthiest foods although the legend of Popeye’s strength is a little bit exaggerated. So many kids were forced to eat spinach because of Popeye’s myth!
Many of my followers asked me to translate my hummus recipe to French. Here it is!
It sounds like the Greek dish Moussaka but it’s not quite the same. For sure both have eggplants but the Lebanese Moussaka’a is a vegetarian dish based on eggplant, chickpeas, tomato, mint, and olive oil. I don’t add any other herbs or spices because I like the taste of the eggplant and chickpeas to dominate in the mouth with a slight touch of tomato and mint.
There are many recipes for Tiramisu but I have to tell you that this one is simply the best. I made it again yesterday for my guests and they were licking the dish. I promise you, you’re going to impress your friends and family.
It’s apple/pear season!! Yes, Fall is here!
It’s that time of year where we see apples and pears everywhere. Do you know there are 7,000 varieties of apples and something like 5,000 types of pears? Depending on the country you live in, of course, the types of fruit will be different.
Here is the blog you’ve all been waiting for! Or at least the one I’ve been talking about for the past ever. This blog is linked to my Instagram page, World_food_dina, where I post about the restaurants and food stores I think deserve our attention.
