    Coconut-Lemon-Pistachio Cookies

    July 9, 2015

    I originally made these cookies based on a Karin Goren recipe (“Sweet Secrets 2”, p. 158). They were very nice, but I am the type of person that likes flavor-punches. I don’t do “nice” in food – I love spices and strong flavors. So I changed things up a bit, played with ratios, replaced some ingredients and added a few others. I think the result is spectacular (if I may say so myself). Ingredients 130 gr. soft coconut oil (not liquid!) 200 gr. (1 cup) granulated sugar 6 Tbsp. freshly-squeezed lemon juice 4 egg yolks 1 tsp. 100% pistachio paste 300 gr. (2 cups+2 Tbsp.) Tami GF flour (or plain…

    Boom Wow Meat Patties

    July 6, 2015

    These meat patties are so deceiving. They look so humble, they’re so easy to make, but then BAM! you taste them and WOW! The flavor combination is both sophisticated and comforting. I’m pretty sure once you try them you’ll want to keep making them. ***Tip*** Instead of baking soda and water, you can just use soda water, but I never have it at home, plus baking soda is so much cheaper. Ingredients ½ kg. fresh ground beef (I use the breast) 1 cups parsley leaves (no stalks) 1 medium onion 3-4 garlic cloves 1 tsp. baking soda ¼ Tbsp. salt 1-2 tsp. Baharat seasoning 50 gr. unroasted pine nuts ¼-½…
