Aslamualaikum
you can use put some of the recipes from my blog here if you want, it’s mostly baking stuff at the moment like cakes and biscuits, but your more than welcome to copy and paste if you want 🙂
Walakumsalaam
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu sister,
Insh’Allah i will post some here! Mash’Allah they look delicious! Jazak Allahu Khairan!
From: Just a Temporary Measure:
Cream Cheese Spirals
225g/8oz butter
225g/8oz cream cheese (I used Philadelphia because we already had it in the fridge!)
225g/8oz plain flour
2tsp of sugar
1 egg
For the filling
115g/4oz of finely chopped walnuts (I actually used peanuts as that was what we had in our house!)
115g/4oz of brown sugar
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
* Mix together the butter, cream cheese and sugar, sift over the flour and mix until combined.
* Gather the dough into two equal balls and wrap each in cling film (loosely) and place in the fridge to chill for half an hour.
* In the mean time mix all the filling ingredients together and put aside
* Preheat the oven to 190 C/375 F/ gas mark 5, and grease two flat baking trays
* Use one ball at a time, roll it out into a circle, use a large plate as a template and cut around the edges with a knife
* Brush the surface with some egg and sprinkle the filling mixture evenly over the circle
* Cut the circle into 8 segments (like a pizza)(if you want smaller ones you could do 16 segments) and starting from the outside of the circle roll each segment towards the middle to form the spiral
* Place on the trays, brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar, bake until golden brown for about 15-20 mins…et voila!
Italian Almond Biscotti
200g/ 7oz whole almonds
215/7 ½ oz of plain flour
90g/3 ½ oz of sugar
Pinch of salt
½ tsp of bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
Some egg for brushing onto them before putting in the oven (I used left over from cheese spirals)
* Preheat oven to 190 C/375F/gas mark 5, grease two baking trays
* Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake until lightly brown, when cooled grind 50g/2oz of them in a food processor and coarsely chop the remaining ones.
* Mix together the flour, sugar, salt, bicarbonate of soda, and ground almonds in a bowl. Make a well into the centre and add the eggs stir to form rough dough and knead it further until it is well blended.
* Mix in the chopped almonds
* Divide the mixture into three equal parts and roll into logs about 2.5 cm in diameter. Place on one of the baking trays, brush with eggs and bake for 20 mins.
* Remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 140 C/275F/gas mark 1
* With a sharp knife cut the logs at an angle, so you end up with slices about 1 cm thick
* Place the slices back into the oven and bake for another 20 mins….et voila!
Victoria Sponge Cake
For the cake:
Ingredients:
8oz/220g of self raising flour
8oz/220g of margarine/butter
8oz/220g of sugar
4 large eggs/5 if they’re small or medium
* You need to preheat the oven, I’m not sure about the conversions and stuff because I’ve never used an actual recipe for the cake, my aunty told it me ages ago…but we always use the lowest heat setting so it takes it’s time cooking
* Mix the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy and has gone a pale colour
* Add the eggs one by one and mix until they are combined into the mixture
* Add the flour bit by bit and mix until the mixture is smooth
* Grease the cake tin/s, I used two round ones to sandwich them together but you could use a square one or even use bun cases if you want
* Pour the mixture into the tin/s and place in the middle and lower sections of the oven, not at the top or it will burn
* Cook for about an hour or until the cake is golden brown from the top and cooked in the middle. You can check if it’s cooked by pushing a knife through the cake if it comes out clean then the cake’s cooked if it has batter on then it’s not cooked (common sense really)
Most of the time we just have the cake as it is but if your feeling adventurous……
For the homemade jam:
I’m not going to do an ingredient list simply because I don’t know the measurements I always guess, or base it on taste. For the cake I made, I used strawberries and raspberries but you can use any fruit, I’ve made it with blueberries and black berries before and also I’ve tried it with apricots. This is a cheat’s jam, you’re supposed to add some pectin or summat to make the jam set but I don’t bother, but I prefer it not as hard as shop bought jams as it’s easier to spread and stuff. Basically you need to put your fruit in a small pan, it works best with berries and soft fruits, add a little water just a small amount about half a cup. The last ingredient is sugar, you need quite a bit of sugar but not too much, that’s why it works with berries so well cause you can get away with putting loads of sugar in cause berries are generally not as sweet. (HHmmm I’m having difficulty explaining this I just chuck the ingredients in the pan and let em cook and it usually works out fine!!!!). Well I suppose I used about one punnet of berries altogether, and I put in about half a cup of sugar first and let the fruit cook for about 10 mins. I then tasted the jam, as the taste wasn’t as sweet I added some more probably about quarter of a cup of sugar. Basically the more sugar you put in the more “harder” your jam will be, but you don’t want to put in too much which will cause the sweetness to over ride the taste of the fruit. So I suppose you need to put as much sugar as you can without making it to sweet, in order for it to set. Totally vague I know!!! But that’s the only way I can put it really. As for the cooking time the same goes really if you want you jam without any bits in you could cut the fruit in smaller pieces if it’s a large fruit or cook it for longer (obviously with berries you can’t really cut them but I did quarter the strawberries) or if you want bits of fruit pieces still in you could cut larger pieces or cook it for less time. Again basically you cook it until it’s the consistency you want it to be I think I cooked mine for about 15-20 mins on a fairly low heat, and I still had some strawberry bits in it. Again we don’t usually make this with cake, we have it with scones or pancakes or summat, but I spread it on one of the cakes this time and on the other cake……..
For the butter cream
6oz of margarine/butter
12oz of icing sugar
Some water
* This is much easier to explain than the jam, all you need to do is mix the sugar and butter until it’s pale in colour and creamy, it takes quite a while.
* Add a few tablespoons of water to get it to a fluffy consistency and the jobs a done’un!!
* To assemble it all let the cake and jam cool properly. Spread the jam on one cake and the butter cream on the other. Sandwich them together. With the rest of the butter cream you can cover the top and sides of the cake, and decorate it as you wish, be warned though if you’re a bit of a perfectionist then it’s going to take a while to cover the cake and it can get messy…very messy.

Remember in Prayers
Ah good, I wanna add some cooking books in my weblog. I like cooking so much 🙂
KOLAK(Famous desert in Indonesia especially at Ramadan) – serves 4 to 6
# Plantains (1 or 2, ripe) or bananas (2 or 3, unripe) – sliced in 1 or 1-1/2″ pieces
Plantains are big starchy bananas that MUST be cooked. If you can’t find them, use under-ripe bananas (still greenish)
# Sweet potatoes or American yams – 1 or 2, depending on size, peeled and cubed
American sweet potatoes and American yams are really the same thing, just slightly different varieties, one being more orange, the other more yellow in color, with a very slight difference in taste. African and Asian yams are variety of starchy tubers with white flesh
# *Large* tapioca pearls (aka sagu or sago) (at Thai markets), about 1 cup – If unavailable, use regular tapioca
When using real Southeast Asian tapioca/sago, you may need to cook it separately first until transparent before adding to the Kolak.
# Coconut milk – more than enough to cover – at least several cups
# Brown or Palm Sugar (in Thai markets) – 1 tablespoon or more to taste
# Cinnamon sticks – 2 or 3 or 4
what is usually sold as cinnamon is actually *cassia* from a different but related tree. Real cinnamon is very, very thin, multilayered, and light in color, not just a single thick dark curl. Try to find this, the flavor is truly superior to cassia, but use whatever is available
# Whole Cloves – about 1 tsp.
# Salt – a pinch
Put all ingredients into a saucepan. Use enough coconut milk to cover the plantains and yams well. Bring JUST to a boil – don’t let it really boil, or coconut milk may curdle or separate. Turn heat down and simmer (little bitty bubbles at edges of pan) uncovered. Stir occasionally to make sure coconut milk doesn’t burn at the bottom of pan.
Test the yams and plantains with a fork or knife (stab, stab) for done-ness after 1/2 hour. Cook until plantains and yams are tender, tapioca is transparent, and sauce is thick.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Don’t chill, as coconut milk may harden
* You can also add other fruits (fresh or canned) put in at the last minute such as jackfruit (very common), pineapple, shredded coconut, etc. *

Caribbean Red Beans and Brown Rice
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups dried small red or kidney beans, picked over and rinsed, soaked overnight, and drained
6 1/2 cups water
3 bay leaves
1 1/4 cups assorted brown rices, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup vegetable stock or broth
1 tomato, cored and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)
Directions
In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the beans, 4 cups of the water and the bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer until the beans are tender, 60 to 70 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaves.
While the beans are cooking, combine the rices, 1 tablespoon of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the remaining 2 1/2 cups water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and celery; saute until the vegetables are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the allspice, cloves, cayenne, the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the cooked beans, the vegetable stock, tomato, thyme and hot-pepper sauce. Cook until the vegetable mixture is heated through, 6 to 8 minutes. Divide the rice among warmed individual bowls. Top each serving with beans and sprinkle with the cilantro.
I love cooking and I’ve enjoyed this site. My cooking is fairly uncomplicated, and quick. I don’t use recipes usually, but stick to some rules:
I avoid aniseed – don’t like the taste.
I use garlic sparingly – it overpowers all other flavours.
Limit salt and add if necessary.
Don’t add anything bitter unless you’re sure it’ll work. I wonce added lime peel to a curry and it was disgusting.
Use plenty of fresh chillies or good chillie sauces, rather than peri-peri powder.
Use plenty of dried herbs in sauces, early into the pot.
Any food cooked without love and contentment will cause indigestion.
Any food, no matter how cheap or simple, cooked with care and love is delicious.
Don’t eat alone.
Assalamu alaikum, I’d like to offer some Chinese recipes, but I do not follow recipes when I cook Chinese (so I cant give exact measurements – sorry!)
CHINESE DUMPLINGS
Ingredients
– Equal portions of ground beef and ground shrimp (chopped up raw shrimp)
– Finely chopped Shitake mushrooms (soak them for about 20-30 minutes to make them soft and discard the stems before chopping.) These mushrooms have a strong flavor, add as much or as little as you like. You can use 2 as a base.
– Chopped up scallions (green onion)
– Little bit of Oyster sauce (this is strong use just a bit!)
– Little bit Soy sauce
– Some Salt
– Dash of White pepper
– Pinch of sugar
– Wrappers (see below)
Instructions:
Mix the ground beef and shrimp together well. Make sure they are both well chopped. Add the mushrooms, scallions, and bit of oyster and soy sauce. You do not want them too pungent or salty so use sparingly. Smelling the meat mixture gives an almost exact indication of its taste. Add the salt and white pepper to taste, and dont forget the sugar. (Sugar is added to balance to flavor of the oyster sauce and soy sauce). Overall you want this mixture to be mild tasting.
Now for the wrappers. These can be found in your local Chinese grocery store, or sometimes in your local supermarket in the vegetable section (near the Asian vegetables or egg roll wrappers)
– You can use the thinner yellow square wrappers (wonton wrappers). Shape them into round balls and and boil them in soup or steam them.
– Or, you can use the thicker white round wrappers (gyoza dumpling wrappers). These can be shaped into a round ball or shaped into crescents with pleated edges. Fry, boil, steam, or pan-fry them. (“Potstickers” are crescent shaped and steamed on one side and pan-fried on the other side).
Fill the wrapper with a teaspoon of the meat mixture. Seal the wrappers by dipping your finger into beaten egg or corn starch paste and moisten the edges before pinching them off.
These are optional ingredients you may add to the meat mixture if you prefer:
– Chopped up water chestnuts
– Chopped up chives
– Chopped up cilantro
– Shredded carrots
– Sesame oil
Enjoy!

Assalaamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu Virda!
Thanks for stopping by the blog and sharing your delicious recipe. I love spicy food.
Assalamualaikum,
This sounds interesting mashaAllah. A few Malay dishes, sounds yummy 🙂
We have a recipe section too on our website as its dedicated to Muslim parenting.
JazakAllah khair for your informative website. I am going to browse now inshaAllah.
Real simple and tasty beans and rice.
Ingredients:
-One cup brown rice (or white if you choose, but it won’t be as healthy)
-One can Campbell’s cream of Mushroom soup WITH ROASTED GARLIC
-One can black beans
-One Table Spoon butter
-Additional salt/pepper/garlic powder to taste (optional)
Combine it all in a rice cooker with the approprate amount of water for the rice. (one cup brown rice takes almost 3 cups water). Stir, and let it cook. You’ll probably need to stir it up near then end when most of the water is absorbed, as it’ll still be pretty gooey, and there’ll be water on the surface, but down below it’ll all be absorbed.
Nice blog Masha-Allah, looking forward to what you add next.
