Good morning dear readers! Before I get into today’s post which is a little less food-centric than usual, I just want to say I’m so glad you enjoyed last week’s recipe my Super Chunky Lentil and Zucchini Soup ! It seems a record number of you made it and that makes me so happy –…
Super Chunky Lentil and Zucchini Soup
As per usual, winter hardly stopped by Bahrain this year. Sure, we had a few days of incessant winds and some colder than usual nighttime temperatures, as well as the occasional rain shower – but all in all the weather’s been pretty peachy. What I’m getting at is that I didn’t really have an excuse…
Bahraini Farmers Market
Weekends are a beautiful thing. Especially when I have nowhere to be on a beautiful Saturday morning (a rarity, between my usual crack-of-dawn driving lessons / events for work), and can finally make it to the newly launched Bahraini Farmers Market I’d heard so much about.

One of my favourites is Beyroute Bistro and Deli . Since discovering it last April during my Easter break, I have been there more…

Vegan Harees
Ladies and gentlemen, I have achieved the impossible; Vegan Harees. Before I proceed with the bragging, let’s take a step back. If you’re not from the Middle East (or in some cases from the Gulf) you probably have no idea what I’m talking about. Allow me to explain (with the help of wisegeek ) Harees…
“Nakhi and Bajela” Bean Salad
Okay, so admittedly I have yet to deliver a proper Vegan MoFo post, so please forgive me as time has not on my side as of late! This recipe may seem like a bit of a cop out as it involves little to no cooking whatsoever, but it is in fact inspired by probably the…
