Apple Tart

Apple Tart

It was one of those days. Nothing went right. Work kept on piling up. I needed something to soothe me. Something to give me the energy to go on. No, I didn’t turn to Nutella this time. Instead, I gave myself a 15 minute break and delved right into the blogosphere. Jumping from link to link, I found myself looking at a post. In awe. It was this apple tart looking absolutely stunning. Like a flower whose petals are so symmetric that you think only God could have created it. I knew I had to try it. When I turned back a couple of days later to print the post, it hit me… Silly me forgot to bookmark the post… And I am supposed to be the most organized person on the planet. I gave up after a couple of hours and tried to come up with a recipe myself. After all, the most important part was the design and that I couldn’t forget.

If anyone knows which post I am talking about, please let me know. I would like to provide a link to the original design.

Artichoke with Peas

Artichoke with Peas

Artichoke in olive oil is a traditional Turkish appetizer. It has many variations when it comes to the topping, such as potatoes & carrots, broad beans and chopped dill or as in my case, peas and shallots.

This is one of those vegetable dishes, which I hated eating growing up as a child and started treasuring it in my 20s.
