Do you like different flavours in your sweet treats? I can’t say I’m extremely adventurous but I do like when a good flavour combo works, in this case it’s these Cardamon Chocolate Almond Cookies. The flavour of the cardamon lends itself so well to the almonds and the chocolate drizzle has the perfect amount of…
Eid is just around the corner so I thought I’d put together a post with 13 Desserts to try this Eid. These include some amazing creations from around the blogosphere. The best part is, not all these desserts are themed, so they can be used for any occasion, even a Sunday, because Sundays are great…
