Medjool date bars with almonds

December 12, 2011

These date bars are my mother’s recipe. She got it from a cookbook on bars and cakes, though I’ve no idea its name.

basbousa: semolina almond cake

July 8, 2011

marzipan cashew butter almond cookies

November 30, 2009

This cookie is inspired by a recipe we made back in May for our Roman holiday party. Originally it’s from Martha Stewart’s site and calls for almond paste and pine nuts. I didn’t have enough of the former and none of the latter so I improvised using cashew nut butter and slivered almonds instead. I [...]
