Raspberry Squares

I love raspberry and almonds together! I adapted this recipe from one I found on America’s Test Kitchen. Toasting the nuts adds great flavor so don’t skip this step. This recipe is easily doubled and would then be made in a 15″ jelly roll pan.

Cheesy Smoked Salmon Appetizers

A simple appetizer that always looks impressive. Can be made up to 1 day in advance. Keep refrigerated. This uses one large packet of the smoked sliced salmon that you find in the deli. The appetizers should look similar to small sushi rolls

Delicate Afghan Butter Cookies/Kulche Birinjee (Gluten Free)

This is a beautiful naturally gluten free cookie that looks pretty and tastes very nice masha Allah. I make these as gifts as well as for family. Make sure not to over mix when making the whole batch. I always make a half batch at a time and bake as soon as possible. Over mixing or handling the batter will make the cookies tougher. Found on http://www.afghancooking.net.

Traditional Algerian Baklawa / Baklava – Family Recipe

This is the most famous Algerian ‘heloua’. You will find it at all the weddings & special occasions. It isn’t all that difficult to make but is a bit time consuming. It freezes OK too!
