The last time I was in Bahrain, I picked up a jar of carob molasses. Although a loyal date molasses fan , I’d heard so many good things about carob, or Kharrub as it’s called in Arabic, so I snapped it up when I spotted it at a local natural foods store. Some background info, courtesy of the world…
Hummus Beiruti
I spent the summer after my first year of university desperately trying to intern at whichever agencies would take me. Luckily, my mom who’s something of a PR maven helped set up a good few interviews (never underestimate the power of a connection or a “ wasta ” as we call it in Bahrain). In the interim,…
Vegan Rogan Josh with Butternut Squash, Cauliflower and Chickpeas
Greetings all! I hope everyone is having a great Monday – I’m currently sipping on some juice trying to recover from what was a truly horrific exam this morning.

Cumin Kissed Butternut Squash Hummus
Yes, returns! This particular recipe came about when I noticed I had just under a cup of cooked chickpeas left last week. The way I saw it I had two options: 1. Postpone the hummus making until I had ample chickpeas. 2. Bulk it out with some other legume or vegetable like broad beans or…
Juice “Feasting”
Firstly, I’m so glad you all enjoyed yesterday’s Indian-inspired “curry” cupcakes ! Please comment back and let me know if you make them. Moving on, to a (possibly) more controversial matter: I’m currently on day 2 of my very first juice fast. I know various people have differing opinions with regards to juice fasting (or…
