Baklava, in its simplest form, because simple things are always a success.*The secret to good baklava, as my mom used to say, is the aroma of the butter combined with the scents of cinnamon and clove.*A very quick dessert that comes together easily as long as you have the ingredients.

One day in the year of 2000, I was working with Taj Flight Kitchen in night shift. I have to complete 10 varieties of cookies (1000 nos), 3 batches of breads (150 breads/batch), 2 batches of puffs and three batches of Croissants.I was under a high pressure to complete all these tasks with just a team of 3 night shift crews. Anyhow I have to complete the task in a clever way..So I decided to make a common dough for different varieties of cookies.Then, I have customized this recipe, according to my convenience.

My Greek Yiayia (meaning Grandmother in Greek) raised me after my mom died when I was 6 years old. She is from the Peloponnese part of Greece and she always made Baklava and other Greek foods as well. We lived in ALABAMA so she used the pecans from her pecan tree. This was a task because she gathered, cracked and cleaned all of the pecans herself and then milled them with an old fashioned hand turned grinder that she clamped to the side of the kitchen table. She made everything from scratch and I am truly blessed to be raised by her !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #baklava #greek

I really got into the maple syrup-flavored milk pudding of a certain brand. I tried various combinations, and this is my favorite. I have this as a snack over several days.Even though the amounts of cornstarch and kanten are minimal, use a digital scale to measure (even just the slightest variation will change the final product). Use regular milk, not low-fat. Recipe by Yukiline

I saw a pudding topped with jelly with cherry blossoms in it at a pastry shop that was so cute, so I used that as inspiration to create a mousse cake.If you are using the type of gelatin that needs to be softened in water, use part of the water in the recipe for that step. Gelatin will not set if you let it boil, so please pay attention to the temperature when you heat it. When chilling the mousse in step 8, it tends to firm up fast once it starts to set, so pay attention. Recipe by Pu-kosan

A snack famous in Maharashtra and bengal with different names such as in Maharashtra it is called CHAMPAKALI NIMKI and in bengal it has a very interesting name ELO JHELO NIMKI . It Namkeen Karele is an attractive treat that tastes as good as it looks. It is flaky, crunchy and super delicious. I bet not only kids, grown-ups get tempted to grab some of them. I have learned this recipe from my mother she use to make this on festivals so after getting married few years back I am continuing making them.Since then, I try making them during festivities. Karela Chaat is not made of the vegetable Bitter Gourd. This recipe is a Bitter Gourd shaped namkeen (salty-fried snack) made of flour.

Finding this recipe was like being a kid on Christmas morning. I recently made it for my mother in law’s birthday, after finding the recipe handwritten by my dad, in the back of my moms old recipe book. This book is a memory, as is seeing anything in my dads handwriting. This was my dads favorite dessert, and bringing it to life again is as exciting as it gets. I hope you find as much joy in making (and eating) it as I did.
