Last week I traveled with my family to Mecca for Umrah. It was a great visit, seeing the kaaba for first time, doing tawaf, then sa’yee, praying and drinking Zamzam water was amazing, words can’t describe my feelings. I will never forget this wonderful experience.

This is the recipe of black forest cake which I made for the first blogversary celebration. The cake was a huge hit and fabulous.

Marrons Glacés are chestnuts which are candied in a syrup solution and then dried. Marrons Glacés may be eaten on their own. They are also the basis for many desserts, among which is the famous “crème de marrons”, flavored with a hint of vanilla, and itself a staple ingredient for other desserts, such as the Mont Blanc (puréed with cream), ice creams, cakes, sweet sauce or garnish for other desserts.
