Pumpkin Baklava

October 22, 2021October 22, 2021 Anca

This time of year a lot of pumpkin-based recipes are appearing, so I am going to share one, for Pumpkin Baklava, which is an interesting merge of a pumpkin strudel with a syrupy baklava.

This is the first dish I cook in my studio as a student. It is a posh dish, but, at the same time, you only need a microwave to make this. It takes less than 10 minutes to make and that is great for many reasons. Za’tar is becoming one of my favourite spices and

A few years ago I made Smørrebrød for the first time and loved it. I made it again and again, so it is time to refresh the recipe, especially as I stopped eating eggs. The first time was a challenge for Great British Bake Off, I also made it while we were caravanning. I made
