Dear Safia: Caramelised Pecan Cinnamon Buns

http://www.dearsafia.com/2015/04/caramelised-pecan-cinnamon-buns.html

Monday, 6 April 2015. Caramelised Pecan Cinnamon Buns. The best kind of days are the ones that you spend aimlessly walking around London with your best friend. If for nothing else, because they end up inspiring you to bake something new! Last week, we ended up at the Nordic Bakery on Golden Square in Soho. Every time I walk past that beautiful bakery the smell of the freshly baked cinnamon buns pulls me in. They've seriously got their marketing campaign on point. 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast. 3 Add t...

You also probably think: "meringue looks ridiculously difficult to make, I'll give that one a miss". Well, waltz in Meringue Girls. And your entire idea of meringue madness has changed! Have created something even more spectacular - meringue kisses. They've also written their own meringue cookbook, which they've creat...

http://www.dearsafia.com/2015/05/top-10-things-to-do-in-marrakech.html

Sunday, 17 May 2015. Top 10 Things To Do In Marrakech! 1 Stay in Riad Lola. Staying at Riad Lola was the highlight of our trip, and I'd do it a hundred times over! Our favourite thing to do was to go up there really late at night and watch the stars! The riad was so unexpectedly peaceful and quiet that it was an oasis in the most perfect location, right in the heart of the chaos of the souks. 2 Explore the endless souks. If you head north from Jamaa al Fna, upwards and past Café des épices. If there is o...

Dear Safia: Banana, Coconut & Pecan Crumble Loaf

http://www.dearsafia.com/2015/07/banana-coconut-pecan-crumble-loaf.html

Wednesday, 8 July 2015. Banana, Coconut and Pecan Crumble Loaf. Banana bread is one of my favourite things to bake. And eat. I am just generally in love with bananas, especially when sliced (apologies to those of you who continually hear about how much I love sliced banana). But really, sliced banana is just one of those things that make life so much better. It's the little things, right? The tiny tablespoon of sugar in the crumble topping is the only naughty bit - and you're totally allowed that. Th...

http://www.dearsafia.com/2015/08/middle-eastern-mahalabiya-with-almond.html

Saturday, 8 August 2015. Middle Eastern Mahalabiya with Almond Milk and Maple Syrup. I cannot deny that a few Middle Eastern desserts are some of my favourites. I've never really been a baklawa. Person, and that's often what first comes to mind when people think of Arabic desserts. But throw me some rosewater and an extra helping of pistachios, and I'm there. Mahalabiya. Which is basically a rose water and pistachio milk pudding, is top of my list. Traditionally, the dessert is made with whole milk and c...
