letting loose in the kitchen

a few days ago i had a friend visit me for afternoon tea ......so i decided to make something for this ....my eldest daughter(12) asked if she could so i said yes but i watched her all the time ....she made a lovely jam and coconut sponge which masha`allah was really tasty ...but as usual i forgot to take a photo till it was nearly finished


so today i asked her to make it again but this time i let her alone to see how she would cope and what we would end up with as i believe it`s the best way to teach them ......well can you imagine what we got .....neither could i ....i`m going to post the pic and leave you decide on it




so i have been asked to put up the recipe .... this became a shock for me as .... i didnt think ppl would be interested ...so here you are 

2 mugs of flour
1 mug of sugar
1 mug of oil
3 eggs
tsp of vanilla
2 pks of baking powder
and a few drops of milk
1 bar of chocolate
and 1 banana

place all ingredients in to your blender and wizz up then add some milk till it`s not stiff but not runny
then poor into a greased tin and bake till top is firm and brown 
when cooked take form oven and allow to stand for about 5 mins then take out .....halve your sponge and put melted chocolate over and spread then place other half of sponge on top then spread some more of the chocolate over the top and slice some banana and place on top then grate some chocolate over the banana and thats it 


enjoy 


this is a pic of the size of mug we used to measure out and the baking powder packets measure out as 1 pkt 10grms

  3. Oh isn't Zina clever! You are right, that is the way to learn. I am the eldest of seven children, and I remember my mother teaching me to cook that way, so I could look after the family when she was in hospital giving birth to my siblings. I was around your daughter's age. I have a thing for chocolate and banana together so I will defo make this one too!

La Koka (algerian pizza)

we are one for pizza and this ramdan you can believe that alot of pizza was made  and eaten .... but last year i remember my dh coming home and saying i will teach you a new one ...so i said go ahead masha`allah it was delicious ....the amazing thing was their is no cheese on this pizza ...(what i hear you say).... yes no cheese so basically  i use the same pizza dough as here then i spread just tomato puree and not the sauce i usually use all over the dough ... then i cut fresh tomatoes in circles and for my dh we take the seeds out as he believes their not good for the stomach ...and i place these around the dough and into the middle .... now what make this pizza it i place sardines that have been salted and the salt remains on it  this i open and take the bones out and tear it  into little pieces and place aound the pizza when finished place in oven till dough is cooked then take out and brush some oil normal oil over the top and cut and eat ... believe you...

French Laof

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out
