What happens when you visit a fellow foodie’s house for a girl’s night in? Sausage rolls. Zaatar and sweet chilli fatayers. Cheese puffs. Empanadas. Chicken quesadillas with guacamole and sour cream. Spinach puffs. Chocolate tarts. Vanilla tarts with cherries. Alfajores. All home-made. I call it the Yasmin Mebar effect – the feeling when eat so much…

Famished in Arabia birthday cakes
Looks like everyone has beat me to it, with mushy things to say to everyone else, and awesome blogs with super friendships being formed between people. I just have the cakes. Out of which I only ate three.

Taste of Dubai 2011

The 7 Deadly Sins hot chocolate by Whittard UK
I love hot chocolate. I love Whittard of Chelsea (the stores in UK anyway, not the Dubai café versions). So when I saw their Seven Deadly Sins Hot Chocolate gift box…what’s a girl got to do except buy it? To be fair, I asked my Mom to check if they had the same box in…
