It was time I changed the blog theme. I was getting bored of the old one.

I’m hoping with this new design, I’ll post more often!

So I was going through my pictures and found this!

The problem is, I have no idea where I got this recipe from but I do remember how good this ice cream tasted. My mission is to find it!

Daydreaming… Pretzels

Posted on January 23, 2011 by Budour

Back in October, I flew on Lufthansa to go to Milan for work-related business.

Recreating Milan: marocchino

Posted on November 7, 2010 by Budour

I discovered a coffee drink in Milan. On our last morning there, I ordered it twice because I didn’t want to let go but I had to.

The next morning, back in Kuwait, I recreated this drink. The moracchino. You see I thought I took a picture of it in Milan and whatsapped it to my cousin but I think that was all in my head?

So what do you need to create this wonderful concoction:

an espresso machine. I use my trusty Nespresso

good quality cocoa powder

cold fresh milk

a frother

glass cups

First, you need to prepare your glass cups

Fill the cups with espresso

Meanwhile, froth your milk…

Dust some cocoa powder on the coffee

Pour the hot milk to fill up the glasses…

And voila… Ok it’s not like Milan but close enough.

Enjoy!

And we meet again: Milano Day 2

No trip to Milano would be complete without a visit Chocolate….

Spicy chocolate gelato anyone?

Ramadan Mubarak

Posted on August 10, 2010 by Budour

For the past two weeks, my head is about to EXPLODE with desserts ideas for this Ramadan.

So many ideas, so little time and so little energy. I will try my best to make something at least every 2 days. I hope my laziness disappears and my love of the kitchen kicks back in!
